Ralph Torrie has generated many realistic solutions such as requiring an energy audit every time a house is sold, similar to how cars have emission tests. (3) Such a bylaw would cause drastic changes in our emission output as statistics like "40 percent of Canadian homes have no basement insulation and 62 percent heat with inefficient furnaces- would decline rapidly. ...
GLOBAL WARMING Humanity is conducting an unintended, uncontrolled, globally pervasive experiment whose ultimate consequences could be second only to nuclear war. Fossil fuel burning, deforestation, and the release of industrial chemicals are rapidly heating the Earth to temperatures not experienced in human memory. Environmentally we have reached a point of unprecedented damage. Limiting global heating and climatic change is the central environmental challenge of our time. If it does not change, human health, birds fish, and many types of ecosystems will be permanently harmed. ...
