>>51797954
This is a good point 2bh
Pic rel. is the UK's produced emissions (blue) which is what everyone talks about, but it's consumption emissions (acccounting for the emissions associated with imported goods) has actually risen slightly over the period.
>>51797852
Burning wood in and of itself isn't that bad because you're only releasing as much co2 back into the atmosphere that the tree took out a few years ago. The problem with burning fossil fuels is that it releases co2 that was removed from the atmosphere millions of years ago, and our ecosystems have adapted to a climate with less co2 than from millions of years ago. But even that isn't the biggest problem about climate change (and it is changing, even the deniers only say it isn't man made). The problem with burning wood is the removal of the forests. Clearing forests leads to more land erosion, which can change the hydrology of a region to put an area at risk for floods or landslides and stuff, and also can lead to desertification. It destroys the homes of a lot of species, some that we depend on (like predators that keep pests in check, or birds that fertilize a nearby field with their poop). Clearing forests can also reduce transpiration and obviously they clean the air too (although the oceans do most of that). Additionally forests have a lot of genetic diversity, which is useful for making GMOs. So yeah burning wood is clean as long as the wood was harvested responsibly.
>>51797402
Tell that to India and China
>>51797886
Atom smashing is darn efficient, as long as you're not retarded regarding safety and waste. Too bad we have to get uranium from third world shitholes and ship it over here. We wouldn't have to give a fuck about stability in Africa.

Most non shit countries have organisations (private or public) eco-managing (litteral translation, here sorry) their forests.
France has never had as much woodland as right now on history for intstance.
>>51798446

>>51798760
And that's why climate change is mostly going to be a problem in shit countries. Like African countries letting Chinese companies do whatever they want to their environment while extracting resources and shit.
>>51798850
Same concept applies. All the co2 from that was taken out of the atmosphere recently. It would only be a problem if the agriculture was not environmentally friendly.
Because carbon is important for our economy and we're not gonna let Jews take that away from us, you fucking spic.
>>51799004
>ike African countries letting Chinese companies do whatever they want to their environment while extracting resources and shit.

But there are too many peoples in my country.
>>51798760
Fucking hell, in terms of energy France should be an example to the entire world yet people keep shitting themselves because "Muh Chernobyl ;__;". That was the most mismanaged fucking nuclear plant around, and all the other hundreds of nuclear power plants in the world never had an issue. Even fucking Fukushima, constructed RIGHT ON TOP A FUCKING FACTURAL LINE (literally the most retarded possible place to build a nuclear power plant) didn't meltdown.
The chances of the Netherlands flooding is literally greater than the chances of a properly managed nuclear power plant having a meltdown, yet nobody uses this as a reason to evacuate the Netherlands.

>>51799372
Of course, but as they develop their per capita emissions are rising, which I mostly why I used the future tense there. Also climate change is much more than just the emission of greenhouse gasses and I was trying to stick to more easily observable/demonstrable changes because I don't want this thread to get derailed by climate change deniers. Explaining that cutting down a forest could lead to more landslides/floods/etc and that it could enable a desert to expand is easier to explain than greenhouse gasses causing a more extreme el niño but less severe hurricanes in the gulf of Mexico and stuff.
>>51799290
They are making good progress for the most part, but they still have a long way to go and their growing populations are putting more pressure on their environment regardless.
As long as USA and China keep fucking up the atmosphere your contribution is irrelevant.

To be fair, biomass would either look gross or like a regular industrial building of some sort, and hydro probably wasn't chosen because we've been using it since before the whole push for clean energy, so most people think a dam is just a dam and don't associate it with clean energy.

There needs to be a mix. When a factory owner doesn't own the river or body of water they're dumping their waste into, the market doesn't fix that and when their customers are on the other side of the world, they won't boycott until they stop polluting in some city they've never heard of. And when government completely shuts down the market, we're also doing away with the good things it does for the environment (like promoting energy efficiency, innovation of new technologies, etc).

I hope geothermal advances to the point where we can use it on a large scale. I'm pretty sure the west coast of the US could utilize it because of the tectonic plates. Eventually we could be using it to like power California, including desalination plants to provide water for all that ridiculous desert agriculture. There's be no risk of a nuclear meltdown (which is already not very likely with the most recent technology that'd way safer than Chernobyl era stuff, but voters are still scared of implementing it), no dams for hippies to complain about killing fish, no wind farms to intrude on the scenery, no solar panels that use minerals that are mined in an environmentally unfriendly way, etc etc. The only downside would be the water around the desalination plant would become too salty for plants/animals, but that's relatively minor in comparison to what we already do and who knows, maybe we could like build a pipeline to take it far enough away from shore to effect anything.

One of the few things that the leftards in the government have done right.
We used to be around 60% hydro and the rest for burning oil, the worst was during droughts when we had to import from Argntina or Brazil. Now wind and biomass made us almost self-sufficient and at this rate we'll reach 100% and become a net energy exporter.
This could happen in Uruguay because it's a special case: Very low population density (198th in the world) and a particularly windy country due to our position in the Atlantic.
Besides that there is a state monopoly on electricity that makes contracts with the investors for decades (very hard in a more unstable private market) to ensure their energy is bought so it makes it an extremely safe investment, almost like buying bonds. Foreign investment in green energy in Uruguay skyrocketed. Not to mention that we are a very stable country and that all political parties signed an agreement to foster green energy investment.
It was like a perfect storm for renewables.

>Hydropower also leads to problems downstream with sediment and coastal degradation
oh yeah this is a good fact i didn't take in account. no matter if the river flow remains big enough, the change in force fucks up the bottom sediment and therefore the whole ecosystem
it really is enviroment reshaping, "clean energy" or not
>>51811004
Going from an oil and energy importer and being dependent on international prices and good rains for our dams to a net exporter and being self-sufficient was by far the best.

>>51801595
>Populated
When he said huge, I'm certain he mean country size, not population.
When your country is huge, and your population is scattered among that space, it's extremely hard to get high clean energy use because you have to build a shitload of windmills or nuclear plants all over since the grid can't distribute energy that far.
Add that to having a rigid north where hydroelectric is basically impossible and you've got issues.
>>51812228
>You are full of shit.
No need to get so hostile.
>When british factories ruined nearby apple orchards people took them to court.
AFTER the damage had been done, and the whole world is not Britain. Industrial pollution is a problem even now in other countries because the government does little to nothing to stop the polluters.
>But the state decided that they wanted the tax income from the factories, so the apple orchard owners got nothing.
Not a very convincing narrative. Most of our agriculture is owned by huge corporations that have enormous lobbying power, just look at how much they get in subsidies.
>Lack of regulation is not the reason corporations get away with this shit, it's been common law for centuries. Anyway, that river shouldn't be public, it should be private property.
What's the problem with a reasonable amount of regulations. If we have a law that you can't dump more than x amount of y chemical in a river in a month, and a totally free market is not bad for the environment, well then the factory owner wouldn't notice the regulations because he'd never pollute above the safe level anyways. Worst case scenario is that we spent money on a few government employees to check up on compliance so that people don't get poisoned BEFORE the market corrects the mistake.

April 14 NEW DELHI
While the world has grown accustomed to images of near-apocalyptic pollution in Beijing, the world's worst air can be found some 2,400 miles to the west.
In 2014, the World Health Organization measured air quality levels in 1,600 cities around the world, and the Indian capital city of New Delhi was found to have the highest concentration of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers, also called PM2.5.
The city's average PM2.5 level was a whopping 153, compared to 14 in New York and 56 in Beijing. The WHO's safety threshold for humans is 10. PM2.5 particles are not visible, but they go deep into the lungs, and are more likely to cause chronic health problems.

probably coal. Germany told them to stop, but I think that just made them even more inclined to use coal.
It's too expensive and we don't have enough clay.
We're building windmill parks at sea, but they say it costs more energy to produce and maintain than that they will ever produce.

Nuclear power is retarded because high grade Uranium is very rare and insanely expensive, Nuclear Power Plants take decades to come online and they are by far the most expensive form of energy.
If the US was powered 100% on nuclear the globe would run out of usable Uranium in 15 years estimated.
Renewables are the future I have no fucking idea why STEMlords and right wingers seem to have this insane hatred of essentially free energy and energy self-sufficiancy.
If the money that was given to coal and oil was given to renewables, we would probably have a fucking orbital Solar array by now.

And because of people with your retarded mindset, nuclear technology never advances, we can't make more efficient reactors to use less, or alternate source reactors, and never fusion.
Self fulfilling.

Thorium plants dont get to be developed because of lackof funding from anti-nuclear shit.

should buy it from us 2bh
Uruguay also has maybe five or so people living in it

Wind is free, that means wind turbines are cheap to maintain too :^)
Sunlight is free, that means electrovoltaic panels are efficient and cheap to maintain, also don't worry about storing energy for nighttime :^)

Suarez lives in Spain, Cavani in France, so.... who?

Back before Chernobyl - Three Mile Island caused Jimmy Carter to place a ban on construction of new nuclear reactors in the US which is still in effect.

Nuclear has had over 50 years to get good, yet it is clearly not economically viable; if it were, we woudn't even be having this discussion. As it is, it's likely just a spoiler distraction to shit up actual renewable discussion.

Powering six lightbulbs with a pedal bike isn't an accomplishment.

Look at how badly we've fucked up the NBN and you get an idea of how unattainable a power reactor would be even if we wanted it- training a whole generation of specialist engineers, constructing a plant to an acceptable quality, structuring investment or government funding so that the whole thing didn't become a clusterfuck...

India and China are investing billions in nuclear, wind and solar energy, go figure

beijing still beats Delhi in pollution desu
