I believe solar power accounts for for just one percent of global electricity consumption.Per wrote:The good news is that fossil fuels are becoming obsolete as we speak, which means they will get phased out whether or not people worry about global warming.

Then again, there are still those that want to try to revive an obsolete industry.
Seriously...

Closer to 2%, but it has more or less doubled over the past year. Your figure was probably correct in 2015.Strangelove wrote:I believe solar power accounts for for just one percent of global electricity consumption.Per wrote:The good news is that fossil fuels are becoming obsolete as we speak, which means they will get phased out whether or not people worry about global warming.

That amount will likely decrease as we enter the predicted Maunder Minimum.
The population is controlling itself. We reached Peak Birth in the mid nineties and birth rates have been dropping for the past twenty years. The population will still grow for another fifty years or so, because of better health care and longer life expectancy, but in the long run fewer births inevitally leads to a drop in population size.Uncle dans leg wrote:If we dont find a new planet soon there wont be anything left to save.

Population control or planet colonization is the only way humanity can survive. Recycling and green energy is all window dressing hiding the real issue...
Most of what I can find out there says your present numbers are wrong and your future predictions are cray.Per wrote:Closer to 2%, but it has more or less doubled over the past year.

And the growth over the next decade should be exponential!
Consumption of fossil fuels continues to increase globally.Per wrote: Oil prices have dropped for quite some time now, and my guess is demand will keep falling.

Being a creationist you should sympathize with my whole "spaceman fucked an ape" theory and the possibility that they will intervene in time to save the experiment...so don't discount that angle.

... but if things remain the same, yes the global population will continue to grow.
And yup that means more fossil fuel will be consumed!
Some... people... are recommending less immigration and more walls.
But tell me, what are some of your proposals for "population control" Dan?
