CrystalCyae Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Planet X is a planet larger than Earth and belonging to another solar system entirely. However, it has water and plant life, which would make human life sustainable. I believe it takes 200 or so years to reach it, if I remember old articles correctly. This is like 2010 news, so I've probably gotten something wrong. But basically, it's Earth = more world mass. Therefore somewhat ideal conditions, except for the destination time. I would personally love to live in an artificial Atlantis. That would be absolutely amazing. Except for when sharks blood from us and slam against the airtight barriers, thus breaking them and drowning us. However, if we could tame sharks, oh heck yeeeeess. Sky cities would be cool to mkay. Cloud Seeding? Ok, I read a childrens book that had that, I know what it is I'm guessing using special equipment to rub dry ice together wouldn't be able to help lightning along, would it?

Akeno_Ederis_17 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 then xtratrestrial life just got serious xD how did they discovered planet x? i doubt that it will only take 200years... maybe longer?? iwould pity that planet if the humans reached it and destroyed it like what we are doing on our planet.. BTW ,, how big is it??like saturn or jupiter ?or slightly larger than earth?? i dislike artificial atlantis,,, i fear water soo much... i prefer sky cities,,but that would destroy the earth more,,im 100% positive xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Zero Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or1Mb1Vje1Q Also, Global Warming can be stopped. It's just that things with the climate will get worse even if we stop CO2 emissions, because of the atmospheric lag. The problem, imo, with Global Warming is that each country is left to figure out what to do alone. Instead of someone (America always wants to be it) stepping up as a leader and takes the first steps in making a greener world. But lobbyist are going to be the end of us.

[/quote] global warming can be stopped? i heard from my profthat it can't be,, but in can be slowed,, because we cant repair the ozone layer... plus.. if we were to stop it then that means : no more factories no more gasoline using vehicles no more plastic no more electricity no more tree cutting meaning different lifestyle which humans cant afford to have (im 90% positive!)

[/quote] Most countries are switching to emission free energy on their own. I predict within the next decade that solar and wind will dramatically increase, once it's price is just low enough. We don't need to stop completely, just cut back A LOT. The Ozone will repair itself, given time. I'll upload a few pdfs of material from my class, if you want?

Akeno_Ederis_17 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 thanks but no thanks idont need em,, i hope so.. that on the next decade the usage of wind and solar power will increase and replace the current source of energy... .. but how about the plastic and the need for wood??

CMRenji Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 At the rate we're polluting, there is no chance of us moving onto a new planet. Terraforming a planet would cost unimaginable amounts of money, labor, and time. A small space colony on the Moon or Mars may be possible within the next 50-100 years though. But they would need constant aid from Earth. We need to get the hell of oil, and move on to renewable resources. I imagine someday, we'll hopefully completely lose our dependency on oil, and use Solar power, wind power etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil will always be something we depend on, we just need to ration it. Wind Power is so inconsistent and Solar power is relying on the sun. It doesn't hold the energy of the sun. Have you learned about the Greenhouse effect? Yeah. Radiation from the sun into the earth is equal to the radiation being released. Light is also being reflected. We won't always have light, but we will have heat from the sun. We need to find a way to contain that heat, which is the "solar" power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we'd be a lot better if someday we completely got rid of oil, rather than just rationing it. I'm not saying that we need to just stop cold turkey, just get off it in like 50-200 years time. But if we can truly never get off oil, then I suppose a world with just small oil use would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CO2 levels were like this before even a little pollution, it changes all the time. If we got rid of oil, everything would change. Some people can handle that, but it would cause too much problems. If we ration it, we would be less dependent and change wouldn't be as drastic. But 50-200 years is annoying. 50 years is more than half of a human life time and 200 is beyond 2 life times.

[/quote]I was talking about the past when I spoke about pollution. We need more time to figure out how to find a substance that is equivalent to oil, which is why we should ration it. And 50 years is too much. If you look at how much oil we consumed over the past few years, you can figure out that we don't have that much time.

[/quote] That's the problem with renewable energy sources, people seem slow to realize the problem until something significant happens to change their minds. For example if you look at the preservation of the environment in the US. Back in the early 1900s everyone still had the mentality that this task would take decades to do (which they were right), whereas the economy was something they had to worry about on the DAILY basis. Therefore, under that logic it was better to ignore the evironmental problem and let it figure itself out. And look where that ended up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
