I do not believe in “man made global warming”, and yes of course I believe in “climate change” but I believe that climate change is normal, comes and goes in cycles as far as hot and cold, sun spots effect it and various patterns of planet rotations, and I think the climate is much more effected – even drastically – by volcanoes and asteroids than “man made”, though a few nuclear bombs in the right place might cause a true disaster in climate so in that case man could screw things up but I don’t think they have anything to do with what is going on right now.
But having said that, I am strongly against pollution which I do not see as the same “issue” as “global warming” – and YES, pollution is often man made. We have made tremendous progress in this regard, and I think we will continue to do so.
Just because I do not believe in “man made global warming” does NOT mean I am against non-oil sourced energy. The free market is already showing how such other technologies and energy sources and devices that use energy can drive products – people will buy a good product. For example, I like electric cars, not because I am concerned for “man made global warming” but because I like the product better than gas cars, and people will buy a good product, period. Electric cars are less noisy for one, and I like that, and we are soon going to see small electric engines on the inside of each wheel – four small engines total – and we will see very notable power and energy efficiency very soon. I will buy electric because it seems a better product to me than gas cars, and there is a growing number of consumers who are like me. I don’t care if operation of an electric vehicle will cost more than a gas car as the price at the pump for petrol drops – I will still buy electric for the same reasons I already said.
The free market is an answer – I love some of these solar devices as well. I use solar powered radios, watches, and probably soon we will have vehicles. Why not?
I will guarantee you, some new fangled vehicle is coming soon – I liked the compressed air vehicle even though others say “nawh… not efficient”. But there will be other vehicles coming as well. I PREFER non liquid based energy simply because it is less messy, liquid based such as gasoline is bulky to transport and store. It would be amazing if we could be a solar powered car, I would LOVE IT!
Take the example of my lawn trimmer. I had an electric one and it was a great mower. Then, as will anything, if broke down after a lot of use. I don't know why, perhaps I thought I was in a "mode to be manly" or something, I bought a gas powered trimmer. It became sort of a nightmare. For one, it was bigger and more difficult to handle. I required a lot of maintenance - the oil, the gas. I got sick pretty fast of going out and buying gas in a canister to fill the trimmer with - messy, would always manage to spill it as well, and I was nervous when storing it on very hot days. I later went and bought an electric trimmer again even though the gas powered one was still operative. Yes, people tell me I might cut the power cord and "electrocute myself". But I haven't so far. Now I see they have some small rechargeable ones that do not even need a cord when operating. So in this case I went electric because I LIKE IT, not because of "global warming".
