Sometimes we take ideas from different sources without putting them through the filter of our thinking. This is especially common in regards to environmental protection and especially global warming. Here are five myths many people believe, even though they are not true. 1. For many environmental problems it is too late to act Actually, the cooperation and innovation led to the improvement of the situation in recent years. For example, the ozone hole over Antarctica has begun to decline, due to the cooperation between countries, institutions and companies. 2. There are only a few options of renewable energy Actually, there are so many choices and it is the duty of humanity to try them all. Many of us know about solar energy and electric cars. But special solutions still exist like for example the processing of wood pellets to turn them into coal. 3. Moving to an economy with low carbon will be difficult "Green" workplaces do not lead to the decline of jobs and they are not killing the economy. Renewable energy actually creates three times more jobs than fossil fuels. Besides this, low-carbon energy means saving money. 4. We must forsake the "dirty" energies to make a difference Practically, we can capture and store carbon emissions underground. Technologies, which can do this will have an important impact on a short-term on the planet. Also, in development are investigations on advanced fuels, efficiency, modernization of energy networks. 5. Scientists believe that we are lost In reality, just a part of science’s community believes this thing. Nevertheless, we can be optimistic, because the costs for actions to tackle the climate changes are very low. Solar and wind energy is developing and electric cars are selling even better than before.
