[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2214676, member: 196898"] Agree that fossil fuels should not be wasted like they are today. However, it is an oversmplification since once again the earth has natural non anthropogenically caused events that do the same on a large scale too. For GHG there is the natural growth / decay cycle of vegetation that starts off capturing carbon. but then releases it all again as GHG and ash. Forest fires are a natural event that spews vast tonnage of GHG into the atmosphere. Volcanoes do the same. marshland and lakes and stagnant water all contribute too. Now these do not involve mans activity, but we are not helping at the moment, In my lifetime farmers and forest rangers used sensible practices to contain nature such as putting in firebreaks, draining swampland, controlling watersupply with dykes and drainage etc, and using controlled burns and stubble removal to reduce undergrowth. Howerev in the last couple of decades, factory farming has caused the Great Depression and its dustbowl, and then we built houses and factories on floodplains. We have stopped dredging our rivers, we put water streams underground into culverts that block. We stop the aborigines doing their annual land maintenance rituals to burn off scrubland. We have lost the skills that our forebears used to control the land, and we greedily join into the throw away society. We use plastic daipers instead of the terry nappies, then wonder why our wetwipes cause fatbergs. We ignore the way it used to be done, and we create speedy one off solutions that make life easier, but at the same time make life unsustainable. [/QUOTE]
