Nice thread aquarian - lots of good information, although it is sad. Especially since most people do not care about the well being of our planet.
I find this thread interesting because recently I started working on a side project to invest (buy and hold strategy) in "green" companies since i believe they are the future. If you look, many of them are (i believe) under priced right now, likely due to uncertainty around global warming (trump pulling out of the paris agreement, regulations, oil companies owning the banks and government, ect). But i think it is only a matter of time before there is a global awakening and the green companies take over.
Anyways, good luck on your journey and i hope you continue to post here!

Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Welcome aboard!
t is great to have another on the team.
I find the media likes to pull us down by overwhelming us with bad news. But that is who they are. Like the mafia using fear, terror and darkness to control. It is like a poisonous snake you don't blame it for being a snake, but you avoid it and continue on your path.
Last night I watch a youtube about a new battery. I haven't researched it yet but here is the link:
"A team of engineers led by 94-year-old John Goodenough, professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin and co-inventor of the lithium-ion battery, has developed the first all-solid-state battery cells that could lead to safer, faster-charging, longer-lasting rechargeable batteries for handheld mobile devices, electric cars and stationary energy storage."
There are good things happening and the more we share the stories of good the more they will happen.
In this video is the 1948 panhard dyanavia
which got 80.7 mpg.
With the improvements in engines since then one would likely be able to get over 100mpg, but even without that think about how many hundreds on millions (or billions?) of gallons of gasoline could have been saved in the last 69 years.

In my opinion, there is no need to count this. You could simply look at the dropping ratio every year and subtract that from an estimated amount of fishes in the sea. However, the problem still persists even if that quote is wrong. Climate change and other resources are being exhausted and will be exhausted with time that is just a fact. We just need to ask ourself what are we doing today to change that.
After being on the helicopter ride and see the immense sea of palm oil trees the local commented:
"It's so sad
It's so bad."
I couldn't have said it better
So sad and SO BAD
orangutans several thousand to 1,000
reserve - the need to restore the canopy
each individual orangutan needs 5 to 6 square km
but 5 individuals in 1 sq km (so should be 25 30 sq km)
--at this point in the video I just felt like crying
I couldn't watch the rest.
My heart went out to the poor orangutans.
A brave few people battling against the enormous onslaught of huge corporations, outgunned and out manned--
I hate seeing mankind's greed and overpopulation and self-interest devouring all before it.--
NF3 is a greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential (GWP) 17,200 times greater than that of CO2 when compared over a 100-year period.[12][13][14] Its GWP place it second only to SF6 in the group of Kyoto-recognised greenhouse gases, and NF3 was included in that grouping with effect from 2013 and the commencement of the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.
Applications
Nitrogen trifluoride is used in the plasma etching of silicon wafers. Today nitrogen trifluoride is predominantly employed in the cleaning of the PECVD chambers in the high-volume production of liquid-crystal displays and silicon-based thin-film solar cells.
Elemental fluorine has been introduced as an environmentally friendly replacement for nitrogen trifluoride in the manufacture of flat-panel displays and thin-film solar cells.[11]

The Leading Edge: A New Threat - Ocean Acidification
Watch Live in
23hours 1min
Efforts are being made to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and combat global warming, yet a new problem is surfacing: Ocean acidification. The ocean has been absorbing man-made carbon dioxide. However, this is causing the ocean to turn acidic, and is negatively impacting coral, shelled creatures, and even the phytoplankton that are the foundation of marine food webs. Some have pointed out that this could disrupt various ecosystems. We'll take a look at this new aspect of global warming.

Plastic problem is far worst than the video hints at. Plastic in the ocean will break into micro particles which fish eat and fills their gut starving them. Plastic in the ocean had been a huge problem for a long time. After decades still just talk and eyedropper solutions.

It's rather a shame that people don't get at the root of the prb - the making of plastic.
It's is totally unnecessary.
For decades a similar material to plastic has been made from (corn) sugar. This "plastic" can be made for bags, containers etc - anything petrol based plastic can. It biodgrades quickly and completely.
