Day 47 : Shipping and CO2



I saw a news story recently about a "New" technique being tried out for shipping, basically it was German company that designed a huge kite that was moored to a container ship and the kite used wind power to move the ship across the Atlantic. Now I don't think I was the only one who thought, wait a minute isn't this what we did for centuries?? We have already tired out using the wind as a source of energy and there was a reason we decided to abandon it in favor of something better namely fuel to be used as a propellant. I think that if we want to become more environmentally friendly we need to be a bit more creative than trying out something our ancestors did and gave up on. maybe a Solar Powered ship, or even better how about a Hydrogen powered ship that had the facilities on board to convert sea water to Hydrogen fuel.

I am one of the few people in the world that hasn't completely bought into the whole "Global Warming is caused by Man" theory, and I know its not popular to be on this side of the argument but I don't think that we humans are capable of changing such a huge ecosystem with production f a gas that that is a minuscule amount in the air composition. The fact that a volcanoes and the oceans put out more CO2 than we could every do should be considered. In addition the earth climate is always changing and we have had nothing to do with it. There is a really documentary out there that I think deserves to be shown and hyped up as much as Al Gores documentary, and its called The Great Global Warming Swindle.

I urge you to look at it with an open mind and then at least you should have heard the other side of the argument, which isn't comprised up of Oil Companies and Ignorants. There are many scientists and notable minds that are in the same boat as me and don't believe that we are the cause of climate change.
