Maybe we are far from exceeding the limits of available energy regarding the inputs of the processes, but our most immediate problem is the output energy, which is released as heath in the environment.
- bbojan 5y agoEnergy released as heat to the environment is currently a rounding error compared to heat trapped due to CO2 emissions.
- panta 5y agoOk, but CO2 is another output of human activities, can we increase energy expenditure while lowering CO2 emissions? (it’s not a rethoric question, I don’t know the answer)
- bbojan 5y agoOf course, as long as you're not burning carbon. I believe heat pollution would only become an issue once we start using several orders of magnitude more energy than we do now.
