Global Warming and Being Green

An important issue! Your views..?

Barrie wouldnt like being green lol! I think its a load of rubbish, ave the rainforests!

i dont like the idea of the planet warming up and i think that there are better ways of creating energy without heating up the planet in the process, we just have to find them and it would be good if we had a competant government to do the job as well.

Lol, I agree. But I'm not crazy on the whole 'green' thing. I do think that everyone should do their bit, like recycling.

recycling is a good idea but there are only certain materials that can be recycled right now, if the government tried harder and put more funding into recycling, im sure that there would be a better range of materials that could be recycled into more useful stuff

Yeah kill the whales

I agree. there are places that can recycle paper and stuff, they have collections for that... But not here, yet...

Yeah Withernsea does! They even recycles clothes and shoes

Yeah, but are they actually collected by the council from your house? Like cans and things are?

Um yeah plastic, paper and cans are in the blue bin. as for the clothes there are points near tesco and the market

ah ok then. Hm.... does anyone know anyone who's like completely green?

Dick Strawbridge is. He's a famous inventor with a legendary mustache lol! Here an image of him in fact, if you recognise him.

Lmao, no I don't recognise him....he looks insane though...

to be honest, i think people are over reacting a little bit, ok we have speeded up the warming of the planet by a lot, but the planet was rising in temperature anyway, look how much warmer it is since the last ice age, we have just speeded up a natural phenomenon, and there will be another ice age but not in our time

but i do think that everyone in the world should try to make the process slower, so that it doesnt happen sooner rather than later

Hm.. I think I agree.... but I'm not sure. It's slightly confusing, and I'm tired...

Polluting the atmosphere with extra greenhouse gases results in rising temperature, as the heat is not exiting the atmosphere. Nothing "natural" about that.

Isn't most of it from cows though?

Methane comes from rice fields and cows mainly, not to mention Argetlam
