Problems With Recession, Oil, and Greenhouse
The three main problems for many economic experts are all intertwined in a way. The ideas of oil peaking and driving prices up, the global economic recession, and global warming are all things many are focusing on getting away from. Concerns with peak oil driving prices up, if it should happen, will develop a strangle hold over the opportunity of an economic rebound. If these costly fossil fuels should exceed the “tipping point” of global warming, the Antarctic ice caps will melt, causing the ocean level to raise the ocean level in a way that will destroy many cities near the coasts. Many are beginning to develop ways to think in preparation for future problems to possibly avoid it.
Many are looking to the future in a bleak fashion in an attempt to lower greenhouse gases and encourage the economy to not raise cause the peaking of oil. In my opinion, it is clear that, while this goal seems improbable, it is not impossible. With the three things necessary to lead the Earth to a brighter future, the most obvious goal appears to be the necessity to relieve ourselves of reliance to oil and other fossil fuels. The demand for oil will lower, causing the chance of peaking oil to lower as well as lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The third goal may be achieved upon the development of new innovative technology including wind power and hybrid energy. People will began to invest in these new inventions to save themselves from paying for the astronomical prices of oil. With the future in dire need of change, getting used to living in a poor fashion is ridiculous to think about as long as we make the necessary actions sooner rather than later.
