If anyone was really concerned about global warming they could put an additive in jet fuel and cool the planet as much as they wanted.
I haven’t seen that proposed yet.
According to the local weather, the temps in here in west central FLA may go down to near record lows, so as far as global warming, my BS sensors are melting down.
Just let Global Warming kill all these idiots and the rest will be just fine.
This won’t work. There’s a certain quantity of sunlight that falls on an acre. Whether that acre is tall or flat you are still going to have the same amount of sunlight.
If you build a vertical farm on it, the south side of the building will be tremendously productive because that is where the most sunlight is hitting. East and west somewhat less, and north will be the least productive, perhaps not at all.
But the skyscraper is just stealing sunlight from the ground far beyond its own footprint. Whatever is in its shadow becomes useless for growing crops. You can’t put a vertical farm in back of the first one because there’ll be no sunlight.
Vertical farming works best when the land to the north is unusable for growing anyway—like an existing south-facing wall. Then you are making good use of “wasted” sunlight and extracting a bit more efficiency out of the system. But this is no magic technique to get more production per acre. You’re better off saving the infrastructure money entirely and just growing on the ground.
There is no scientific proof that molecular level increases in CO2 in the atmosphere are causing global warming or any other climate changes. All of the global warming models have not predicted nearly two decades of no significant change in global temperatures and the downward trend we are actually seeing despite increases in CO2. These schemes to reduce CO2 as a means of foregoing some type of climate change are as futile as King Canute commanding the tide to stop.
“Now of course, excessive carbon emissions into the atmosphere remain a serious concern and a real problem.”
Yeah, right.
“Global warming” stopped 18 years ago even though CO2 levels are at an all time high. (That’s why “global warming” was renamed climate change, you know, that thing that has happened on Earth for at least a billion years.) The seas didn’t rise. Glaciers didn’t melt. Antarctic ice is at the highest levels ever recorded by satellite. Arctic ice is growing at record rates. There are more polar bears than ever. Severe weather activity is at an all time low. Record lows have been recorded at thousands of U.S. weather stations during the last year. Record early summer snow storms just occurred in the Rockies. The list of incorrect model predictions just rolls on and on and on. It’s hard to fool people when they can look outside their windows and see with their own eyes that you are lying through your teeth.
I like it.
let’s repurpose the California Air Resources Board skyscraper into a giant 25 story vegetable garden.
The only skyscrapers full of vegetables would be tall buildings filled with gullible marks who believe this crap.
I probably should have checked to see if someone had used that one yet. ;’)
