If a very fat person is giving you dieting advice you wouldn't listen to them either. Thanks to Leonard being a huge cunt to the environment many people will never take this film seriously.

In just one day his possessions alone probably do more damage to the planet to keep clean and fancy than most individuals will be able to cause in 20 years.

"Just how much of the "Greenhouse Effect" is caused by human activity?

It is about 0.28%, if water vapor is taken into account-- about 5.53%, if not.

This point is so crucial to the debate over global warming that how water vapor is or isn't factored into an analysis of Earth's greenhouse gases makes the difference between describing a significant human contribution to the greenhouse effect, or a negligible one.

Water vapor constitutes Earth's most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for about 95% of Earth's greenhouse effect (5). Interestingly, many "facts and figures' regarding global warming completely ignore the powerful effects of water vapor in the greenhouse system, carelessly (perhaps, deliberately) overstating human impacts as much as 20-fold.

Water vapor is 99.999% of natural origin. Other atmospheric greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and miscellaneous other gases (CFC's, etc.), are also mostly of natural origin (except for the latter, which is mostly anthropogenic).

Human activites contribute slightly to greenhouse gas concentrations through farming, manufacturing, power generation, and transportation. However, these emissions are so dwarfed in comparison to emissions from natural sources we can do nothing about, that even the most costly efforts to limit human emissions would have a very small-- perhaps undetectable-- effect on global climate."

Bullshit.
Nature is coming back around the deserted Tchernobyl site. Humans are literally worse for the environment than radiations. If you truly want to save the environment, you don't go vegan, you go childfree. Veganism is nothing but a distraction on the real problem that is human demography. Even if we were to eat nothing but vegetables and fruits, we would still need space and resources, nature would still be endangered simply by our numbers.
True solution is depopulation.

Debatable, as there are no studies about the effect of living near nuclear power plants for extended periods of time.
And as chernobyl and fukushima have proven, catastrophic failure isnt impossible and if it happens, you're kind of fucked.
Also we dont know what could happen if some towelhead decided to snackbar a nuclear power plant.

Nuclear power is the future, but saying its the safest form of energy is ridiculous to the point of just being plain bait.

Chernobyl blew up because russians were retards who didn't have the slightest idea how to design a reactor. Not only that but they didn't even have a plan B when something went wrong since they didn't know how to turn off the damn thing.

Fukushima withstood the 4th largest earthquake in recorded history, an earthquake that was at least twice as powerful as what the building was designed for. It was the tsunami flooding the cooling plant that broke the thing.

Compare these extremely rare incidents to the thousands of people who die mining for coal, gas or oil. Not to mention that coal fumes also carry radioactive material.

>>80126180
Even if there were negative effects from living near the plant, which from a scientific perspective I don't see why they're would be unless they are dumping waste into rivers, you can just have the plant isolated.

I really don't know if human activity has a significant impact on global climate. If you take the stance that human activity bears no significant responsability in global warming; enviromental issues (pollution, depletion of natural resources) are still important problems we have to deal with. It drives me against the wall when people merge global warming and pollution.

>>80126257
You cant just discard these events either.
There is always a risk of fuck ups especially on the human side of things and its not like you can count on nature to keep you safe either.
They didnt expect the earthquake, but they should have, you need to take every single thing into account when building these things.
Safety should always be the number one priority.
That being said, i think that we could easily built nuclear planets capable of surviving terrorist attacks, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc with the technology we have right now.
>>80126268
Nuclear power plants regularly vent radiation outside. This is normal and has to be done.
The reason i was addressing this, is because german studies have indicated that the risk of leukemia in children under 5 that live in the vicinity of nuclear power plants is 19% higher than the risk for children that dont live near these plants.
The study hasnt shown conclusive proof that the power plants are at fault, but its something that should be taken into consideration.
As you said, building them in remote locations and having the workers rotate in shifts, like on an oilrig for example, would completely take care of this.
>>80126370
I dont doubt that the security is trained for these kinds of attacks, but as far as i could see, the website doesnt really go indepth on what they can or can not defend against.
Can they defend a power plant from a plane crash for example?

This is a F4 Phantom going at 500mph giving it a 2,5 inch deep scratch (and that's probably only thanks to the engine being the toughest part)

The average protection for the nuclear plant structure is a four-feet-thick concrete wall, but the reactor vessel and other parts are even more protected.

Hello hippy

>>80126672
Feels good to be right and to shit all over you desu

>>80126612
Thats good to know.
So we can establish that newer reactors are probably safe from such attacks, however there are still older ones still in use around the world.
Tihange in belgium is such a case.
There are cracks in the reactor hull, yet its still being used.
Then there is obviously the danger of shit quality in subhuman countries such as india or china.
A catastrophic failure in asia coupled with bad winds could majorly fuck a decent part of the world.
I think its safe to say that its too dangerous to leave these countries with such technology.

>>80126656
>Chernobyl

>>80126717
Exactly, it's not safe at all

>>80126717
>nobody died
Thats factually wrong.
Now aside from the people that died from the earthquake/tsunami, there are people dying from the effects of the radiation right now.
Also
>tsunami after an earthquake
That is something that should be expected.

>>80126180
if you consider the amount of nuclear power plants that have existed on this planet and compare that to the amount of catastrophic that occurred nuclear power plants are statistically speaking safer then driving in a car

>>80126604
That waste is highly manageable and probably not in quite the massive quantities you imagine. Waste is incredibly manageable compared to other energy systems while being far and away the most efficient

>>80126707
Those are already there. Building new improved first world plants doesn't change that.

>>80122804
would everybody agree that "climate change activisists" biggest enemy in their quest for clear and green energy are themselves.

their more holy than thou attitude combined with their inability to engage in open debate not to forget their constant need to portray everything in black and white really makes the large majority turn their backs on them and their movement

>>80126769
actually the radiation to the surrounding public is within safe levels. But I think it was dumb of Japan to put a reactor on the coast of its tsunami prone island. If negligence is the argument I may as welm say wind turbines are bad because some idiot company can decide to put one by a building and poorly design it so that in the event of predictable hurricane or earthquake the blades come off and crush 20 people.

>>80126810
I know.
I'm saying that these are dangerous and should be controlled or at best, closed down and if necessary replaced.
Obviously it would proove to be quite expensive, but in my opinion, you're not "losing" money if its for the wellbeing of your citizens.

>>80126794

>>80125254

Says the japanese government who are only so eager to forget about the whole thing.
Lets be honest here, this wouldnt be the first time a government has lied to its people and i doubt it'll be the last time either.
Wether or not the radiation levels are safe at the moment, is something that we'll only learn in the future by observing the people living there and their offspring.

>>80126794
>That waste is highly manageable
Wrong.
You cant safely store it for thousands of years.
Until we can cheaply build rockets to launch that shit onto the depths of space, we're stuck with it.

>>80126870
If my mom acted superior to me as a child because I didn't understand why brushing my teeth was important and to spite her condescending tone, I decide to foster cavities...really I'm the stubborn goddam fool.

Imo environmentalists are their own enemy because they believe so many myths predicated on fear about nuclear energy when it could replace much of the fossil fuel industry today.

why don't they just launch nuclear waste into space instead of burying it somewhere?

>>80126917
That info wasnt from the Japanese government. Some dude took a geiger meter and strolled around the area taking readings.

The government evacuated the area more out of precaution and stigma. But it didn't really ever need to. People returned fairly quickly after the event

>>80126933
It's manageable for thousands of years. Very manageable and we already have the infrastructure set up for it. The modern reactor designs are even more efficient. We could probably launch that shit into the sun with our current tech if needed

We don't have the proper technology to allow so many launches and more importantly to ensure safe launches 100% of the time.

Imagine if a rocket exploded full of radioactive material? Or if the launch failed and the rocket falls into the middle of the ocean?

If we had something like a space elevator, then yes it would be a much better option. Simply shuttle up the crap and use minimal fuel to send it out into space.

If nuclear power plants in the world for whatever reason ran out of power and had nobody to man them they would all go under critical meltdown and the regions would be uninhabited for decades, potentially hundreds of years apropos fukashima/chernobyl. It's far, far, far from the safest mode of energy unless we find some way of jettisoning nuclear waste off planet or an entirely clean reactor ie fusion. We would be far better off as a species investing in the evolutionary tech tree of a Dyson's sphere, namely solar power.

Please stop the disinfo. Environmentalists such as yourself have done more harm than good with this baseless fear-mongering against nuclear power. Because of your intense lobbying you have condemned Western Civilization to 40 more years of coal and oil based power that could have been avoided if R&D on nuclear power would not have been halted due to pressure from clueless fools.

The funniest part in this is that GreenPeace and other organizations responsible for this are Soviet plants. And you did a mighty fine job in preventing the West from gaining too much of an advantage against the Soviets who were incapable of developing nuclear power technology on par with what Westerners were capable of.

Idiot.

>>80127265
1% of the earth's surface area covered in solar panels would provide energy for the whole planet for a year within one day.
People love to pick on renewable tech just because it's burgeoning, like it won't be more cost efficient and reliable later on. We don't still use fluorocarbons and lead in fuel do we?

I swear, retards act like nuclear plants produce swimming pools of radioactive waste every day.

See this pond? There are now 100s of them in my county and 100,000s of them around other parts of the USA. They hold extremely dangerous waste chemicals used in well fracking. They exist to evaporate as much of that shit into the air before the companies are forced to hide it back into the ground.

This isn't water.

Did you forget to pay your carbon tax again? You've been doing an awful lot of breathing lately.

>>80127492
And people forget how awful it is to actually balance a power system if you include solar and wind power that bring huge fluctuations alongside. It's not like we have the ability to store energy in a reliable way, so what you produce now must go somewhere through the infrastructure, otherwise you risk frying everything.

>>80126639
Does it count that the reason their shithole looks like that is because the USA moved most of its factory production there?

>>80125351
Nice non argument but you forgot the most important difference, that humans can make moral choices

>>80127516
Why are you still alive? You may as well KYS now because you're only holding off the inevitable.

Do Americans really care about the opinions of some actors?
Call me an edgy faggot but at best they read up some short summaries about the issue without going too deep into it. I mean they aren't dumb by a longshot but none of them is really qualified to talk about the stuff.

>>80127569
What does using resources in an intelligent way has anything to do with morality? As long as we're not slashing and burning everything for the sake of it and we're not left with a charred rock of a planet, there's no morality involved.

Pretty fucking sunny right here and now, faggot

t. Philadelphia

>>80127567
That's wrong. The US is still the second largest manufacturer in the world. We just automate it.
We're cleaner because of better tech and we don't do ridiculous shit like rare earth metal mining on US soil.

>>80127539
Oh shit I haven't even paid my fart tax yet!

>>80127609
>Do Americans really care about the opinions of some actors?

Yes, an overwhelming amount of them, I'm sad to say.

>do some research

Those same people mentioned above don't do research.

Nice arguments you autistic retards

>>80127635
We moved the worst polluting production out of the country.

Pretty smart move actually.

>>80127609
Celebrity worship.

That's all there's to it. Morons think that just because some famous dude says something that something must surely be true, despite the fact that is if a random dude on the street would have said the same thing he would've been ignored.

>>80127591
>being this dumb

OK hippy back to you weed patch

>>80127451
Everytime I read about it

>>80127609
Not really. Only autists think this bevause they never talk to people. Americans, especially women are enamored by celebs, but moreso over the lifestyle a fabulousness. Americans don't pay enough attention to anything substantial, they zone out even when a celebrity talks about such topics.

5.1mkm2, a quarter smaller than Australia. That is also an exponential surplus of power. Also the same silicone dredging has already occurred many times over for the predominant goal of people gawking at their fucking Facebook.
>>80127539
Carbon tax made a considerable positive difference in emissions, particularly in business while it was imposed in Aus

>>80127402
problem with solar panels is that currently they produce less power than what they consume

>>80127748
Oh wow, a quarter smaller than Australia! That's totally not fucking massive at all.

Silicon dredging doesn't have half the impact of rare earth metal mining, especially the scale required to fucking fill something nearly the size of Australia.

>>80127537
what happens if you ignite it?

>>80127768
Oh yeah, you expect us to make thousands of repositories like that if we go full nuclear energy all around the world ?
It's not viable
Imagine how much nuclear waste would be created if the entire global energy matrix switched only to nuclear energy

>>80127849
Ever seen a river on fire?

>>80127984
A pretty manageable amount. We should finish Yucca Mountain. France is run 80% on nuclear. Nice air desu

>>80128007
It's not manageable at all

>>80125216
But the amount of oxygen produced by trees is minuscule compared to algae and grass. We can annihilate every forest and nothing would change.

>>80128005
no

>And as chernobyl and fukushima have proven, catastrophic failure isnt impossible and if it happens, you're kind of fucked.
Still kills less than wind.

Why should people that won't have children care about the environment?

>>80122855
>carbon tax

Please explain how said carbon tax saves the environment

>>80128332
It catches fire :^)
