global warming? February 8, 2012
Tags: climate change, energy, global, self-sufficiency, warming
It is rather ironic that ‘global warming’ is the likely cause behind the deep freeze causing mayhem in Eastern Europe these days.
I suppose that the more accurate term would be “Global climate change” because changing it definitely is.
So what are we going to do about it? Solar panels, geo-thermal heat, and cisterns are all simple enough to add into a building project. Why can’t all of our construction be energy self-sufficient? If they can’t quite all, can enough be done to at least make them significantly self-sufficient? I think it’s worth the effort, and we certainly have the technology, if we are just willing to use it. Big business is not more important than global survival, no matter what they think.
