True or false: it is possible to fight global warming and grow the economy simultaneously.?

TRUE.

'reducing climate-change' is also about improving infrastructure,

re-designing homes and businesses, reducing WASTE,

re-using or recycling materiel, etc.

all of these need research, designers, builders, consumers, investors,...

during Reagan's 1st term as Prez,

the USA was home to 75% of global research on solar-cells,

and sold 80% of solar-cells worldwide.

Reagan cut all Fed-funding for alternate-energy, including solar.

in 1985, over 75% of the solar-cell market had become Japanese-manufacture:

Japan's research was improving efficiency,

and we'd given up our market-share.

GM's electric plug-in car was TOO successful, not 'an engineering failure'.

the pending-Calif. law that would have req'd 15%? 20%?

of new-vehicles sold to be electric, terrified Detroit -

so they destroyed one of the best designs ever produced in the USA.

we design and make big, fat, guzzling cars -

and then complain that they're expensive, wasteful and polluting. Duh...

One of the former founder of Greenpeace has said the current ecomarxist movement that has taken over the environmental movement is anti-capitalist and thus anti-development.

The crux of the argument for the global warming religion is the "rain forest", in actuality globally substantable forestry practices can and do exist in developed nations.

Energy plays a large part in development, without energy a country will not and cannot develop.

1st, I don't buy the human caused global warming for a variety of reasons. Most reasonable scientists in the climate sciences disagree with the findings of the IPCC report and even of the 2500 contributing scientists, many state that the report goes against their recommendations and studies. The report was written by UN bureaucrats driving a political agenda and people need to wake up to that fact.

True AND False - False because in 10 more years the democrats will say the earth is cooling again...then well have a couple hot months and itll revert back to "climate change" before once again returning to global warming.

True because once the global warming fad goes away our politicians can focus on more important things rather than whos gunna be the first "first" (woman pres/black pres/etc)

thats a loaded question, the only solution to global warming is in the voting booth

False and rediculous

Climate change affects the economy

economy depends on ecology ,

Rising food prices,shortage of water,both hotter and colder weather,

Ultimately,Famine,Wars and death

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result of heat waves ,as in France 2 years ago

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing

collectively this planet is drying up ,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation) and the overpumping of carbon and surface aquifers ,and more and more agriculture requires irrigation

Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe.because of desertification and if the sea levels rise thousands of hectares on coastal lands will b flooded

Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.

This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.

The farmers have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.

Over the last half century,

Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million

In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .

potable water is getting at critical levels and people are already fighting over water this will only get worse

Climate change is costing billions of dollars

what ever we can do may lessen the effects ,but growing is a long way off ,

we are going to have to worry about surviving

let alone growing the economy

True - the countries that are tackling global warming are the ones coming up with new technologies and state of the art innovations. Honda and Toyota are a couple of good examples, they've made their vehicles more environmentally friendly and sales are booming. On the other hand, countries such as the US are getting hammered on the global markets and their economies are faltering. Ford and GM being good examples here, they've not adopted 'green' policies and worldwide sales are plummeting.

True:

if you look at Germany, the largest PV market in the World, you will see that a whole industry has sprung up due to a feed-in tariff paid to operators/owners of PV systems. There are now countless companies (in Germany) manufacturing products in all stages of the supply chain of the PV industry, including a whole infrastructure of companies who install systems. Renewable energy is hot in the stock market, so all these factors prove that renewable energy industries grow the economy, or can grow the economy. It is starting here in the US, but we will need a little more time to grow as big as Germany's market.

Ask a coming up financial equipment like China, Mexico and so on..... Ross Perot in his 1992 Presidential Election marketing campaign stated that it is easy to purely arise with the money for to be and environmentalist. meaning that a rustic would desire to has a sturdy and increasing GDP earlier government inforced rules to require inner maximum industry to place in infrastructure to shrink the element to worldwide warming.

Since its impossible to fight global warming, being that it is caused by the sun, the answer would be no.

completly, in fact, using environmentally friendly programs can actually help you to save on money and bring our country into a new millenium.

In fact I am reading a facinating book called "Ecology" but I don't know who it is by becuase I don't have it with me and it talks about how ecology and economy go hand-in-hand. You can't try to help our earth without getting into today's economy market and you can't advance economy in the long run if you don't take care of or understand what we need to do about our environment.

True.

To reverse global warming tendencies, huge investments will be needed to re-invent most polutant industries.
