My solution to global warming

[Dreadful Nonsense]

Sort of Draconian but I've thought about this for years now.
The planet is a living organism. And like all living organism living here one has to let things clean up for it to remain healthy.

Shut down all polluting machines, factories,burning of forests,and everything else you can think of for 3 days.
If you don't it will be confiscated.....ok ambulance and police cars and such exempt but only used in emergancy.....

This would allow for a massive cleanse and we could go back to our inane lifestyle until our technology catches up to our stupidity.

The idea has possibilities Doc but I think the shut down might have to be three months instead of three days........maybe even three years but that would be ridiculous....:roll::smile:

Picture no car pollution for 3 days. it would not bancrupt the economy to give everyone a paid 3 day deal either.
But if no pollution is added for only 3 days the amount of oxygen produced and the settling of carbon out of the air would be astronomical.
IMHO....In any case just getting everyone to do one thing for a common good would be awesome. thanks Jaun for reading ...sort of me going out on a limb and opening meself to ridicule.....which hey ain't so bad if it helps the awareness factor and cause.

If it be that simple, it will be the greatest. I support your idea. I hope it goes just like snapping a finger too.

I won't join you on your limb just yet, but getting everyone in the world to do one thing for the common good would indeed be a miracle........I'll have to think about this....:smile:

All that carbon dioxide isn't just going to go away in 3 days. 3 decades perhaps...

Although, I must say I liked your last line: "This would allow for a massive cleanse and we could go back to our inane lifestyle until our technology catches up to our stupidity.":lol:

Three days without using any cars,electricity,tv etc.,hopefully not in January. A great idea but i think that any gains would be offset by an incredible growth in the number of consumers 9 months later.

The Light is Green, The Future is Clear ...Green/Clean Tech...Is now ..It is the Future..

Sustainability/Prosperity For al(most) all !.Forever Forward into the Future..!.( Unfortunately, this excludes, for now, Zombie Slave Drones of the 23rd century (Sorry they're Just not Sustainable, at the moment ...working on it though)...

Peace or pieces?

Peace!

The Climate Changes ,The Trend is Warming , and yes, We effect/ have an affect on, the Weather/Earth/Climate.

The Earth will live on ..iITt. is US...We are of it . Alive..Here, now , But Why?..is a Question ..How ?..Will we/Can we survive, the Tests of Time ? ( psst ..Green/Clean Tech)

Only time will tell ..Hope it screams and yells ..Long before it's almost over..

Respect...

Or

Whatever..?

Huh?!

 

[Skatchie]

well, what if the people that want to stop polluting just stopped and left the rest of us alone. They could offset the people with brains that don't buy into this crap and we'd all be okay.
