Comments on: What Can We Do About Climate Change/2024/12/22/what-can-we-do-about-climate-change/The goal of this blog is to create a long list of facts that are important, not trivia, and that are known to be true yet are either disputed by large segments of the public or highly surprising or misunderstood by many.Mon, 24 Feb 2025 23:56:11 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.com/By: thomasstigwikman/2024/12/22/what-can-we-do-about-climate-change/comment-page-1/#comment-2523Mon, 24 Feb 2025 23:56:11 +0000/?p=1391#comment-2523In reply to World Questioner.

It is primarily our life style choices and how we generate energy that is to blame. The average American has a four times larger foot print than the average Swede (my native country) because the Swedish electric grid is nearly fossil fuel free and people use public transportation more. But both countries could do better. Someone who eats a lot of red meat and drives an SUV could make a huge difference by changing that. It is true that more people means more greenhouse gases. It is a factor. However, again it is primarily our behavior that’s the cause and we can change that. How can we change the size of the population? That is very difficult and the population growth is flattening out anyway. In addition we need young people and their ideas and their labor etc. So in short I am not for controlling the human population, but that is just my opinion. Thank you for your question World Questioner.

Are you in support of or opposition to population control? Controlling the human population?

Yes that would be really nice. I mnetioned in another comment you posted that scientists are already working on it. As I said in the previous comment, there already exist processes by which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere and they are already used to some degree. These carbon sequestration systems are not extensively used yet because they are expensive.

We need to build photosynthesizing machines that use solar power to convert carbon dioxide and water vapor into oxygen and hydrocarbons. Would that be sustainable?

Don’t worry Java Bean Dada will save you. I am sure Obi-Wan Kenobi can help too.
