Upmewhale Writing Contest! Global Warming and Climate Change, What Can Be Done?

avatar
(Edited)

Hello Steemians! And welcome to the second writing contest hosted by @upmewhale to incentivize the creation of quality content in the spirit of #NewSteem

TOPIC: Climate Change/Global Warming.

In this @upmewhale contest we intend to encourage Steem authors to share their points of view on the topic and to create an authentic, sincere debate about the issue. Yes, we know this topic is highly controversial but it's also a very interesting, complex and nuanced issue that we would like to see the community address in the context of a healthy debate.

Some cues to get you started:

  • What is climate change?
  • What does it mean to you? How does it impact you and your community?
  • To what degree is it an instrument of certain political agendas?
  • How can we manage/solve it? Share your ideas.
  • What theories and data do you believe and which not? Why?
  • What are the main technologies and countries responsible for it?

In order for your entry to be considered, please write at least 500 words accompanied by at least one image. We want users to create a meaningful original content and engage with other users in the comments. The best comments will receive some tips from us.

  • Your entry has to be written in English, with a minimum of 500 words.
  • Only one (1) entry per user is allowed.
  • The post must be of the highest quality and free from plagiarism.
  • You can use text, ideas and/or images that are not your own, but you have to put the source(s) right next to it/them.
  • You must use the tag #self-power as the FIRST tag (mandatory). Also, try to use other tags related to this contest, such as #climate-change, #warming, ...

This contest will be active for "15 days" starting today 26 Jan, 2020 and will be closing on 23:59 UTC February 9th.

What would happen if the bonds had been directed to the ecological projects that make life in Steemit?

I have noticed that in this social network very little they support the ideas and activities of us environmentalists; even so I will participate in the contest.

Sowing a tree you support our cause.

A nice pick on the contest theme guys, this definitely would yield some great written pieces with interesting opinions regarding much talked about issues which are felt being less talked about to some extent.

Thanks for bringing this up sir :)

Saludos amigos @upmewhale les expreso mi complacencia al poder encontrarme con esta convocatoria, la cual me parece excelente al querer llamar a la comunidad steemiana a laborar contenidos que realmente ofrezcan un aporte valioso a todos los que hacen vida en esta plataforma, con contenido proactivo que deje una enseñanza y valores en beneficio de todos los que poblamos el planeta tierra, que muchas veces ignoramos sin darnos cuenta que es nuestra casa y como tal, debemos cuidarla y honrarla. El tema me parece excelente, donde hay mucha tela que cortar, me sumo a la iniciativa amigos, y desde ya me pondré a trabajar sobre mi participación. Gracias por la convocatoria.

Honestly it would just be sad if most Steemians view this topic as "controversial"...

Sure, with regards to the extent governments can justify increased taxation on behaviours and consumption that contributes to pollution and/or use tax-payer dollars to subsidise green-energy solution is up for debate and I'm sure the large number of people here who prefer a small government have strong opinion on that. But as for whether or not climate change exists and that humans contributes to it, there really is no debate. You either understand the evidence for it or you don't.

Así es amigo tienes toda la razón, es un tema de salud pública urgente, de emergencia planetaria, en la que urge despertar la conciencia de amor y protección hacia nuestra casa galactica que está a punto de colapsar. Los gobiernos del mundo, sólo muestran un teatro donde aparentan preocupación, cuando en realidad gastan millones y millones en armas y en crear virus para sembrar el terror y el pánico en la sociedad dormida que les sigue el juego sin darse cuenta. Se entiende perfectamente lo que quieres expresar.

What makes it controversial snd this is from my perspective of course is the fact that for s lot of us in less deceloped societies, it really isn't evident. There's literslly no effect or change in our climate.

What is sad is that so many people blindly accept what they're told by governments, corporate media, and celebrities... all of whom those same people will usually agree are highly dishonest and not to be trusted when it comes to any variety of other topics.

A few key points:

  • Carbon Dioxide is necessary for life, is not a pollutant by any accepted definition of the word, and stayed quite stable through many drastic climate changes in the Earth's history.
  • The US military is the largest polluter on the planet.
  • Every single claim made by climate alarmists has proven false, usually drastically so.
  • Maurice Strong, The Rockefellers, and the others who started the lie of "climate change" are widely known as totalitarian eugenecists. The reason CO2 is focused on is because that means every human is the problem
  • Solar cycles have a huge effect on Earth's climate, and yet are left out completely by alarmists.
  • Even if we accepted the "problem" as laid out by alarmists, it is quite obvious that the solution would involve shutting down governments, ending the practice of shipping goods worldwide (Amazon & Walmart alone pollute more than ALL the "citizens" of the world), and a shift towards localization of food production, decision-making, and responsibility.

Climate change is a significant factor which the Rolf has neglected over the years. Australia has suffered more from its consequences than any other countries in the world. We hope the world will embrace green energy initiatives in order to appease the gods of the solar system/layer above us

Hey there .... could you please change the message in your Bio to state that you are only doing Manual Curation now.... I made the mistake of sending you 6 Steem and was downvoted Into oblivion. Huge mistake. Could I also get my 6 Steem back. There is no way to reviver all the other votes I lost plus my ruined reputation. Thanks @upmewhale

Hey guys, maybe it is a good idea to take the Send minimum 3 Steem/SBD And Get A boost to your post! out of you info, since you switched to manual curation. It is confusing to some users:)

Excellent topic to discuss since the coronavirus has captured all the attention while some do their thing, ending with the trees and many other things, but today is Christmas so it is better not to say anything because everything to discuss would be unpleasant.
Merry Christmas

Friends @upmewhale I practice and post on Hive about yoga, and you dear ones have noticed that I have obtained excellent results with my 69 years of age and it causes me so much joy when you vote for the posts of my fellow Hivists, which makes me excited to continue doing it better, because your valirations are the stimulus for what we do daily, and I refer to the test, to reach position 71 in the hive, that is encouraging me a lot, and it allows me to express that you are one of the essential engines that we They print a lot of encouragement .. Thank you for your visits and motivations, With love from Venezuela he writes @omarrojas.
