What is the effect of lighting the world day and night on global warming
l come to believe that if each light bulb emits 100v of heat each night,
and there are nillions of bulbs on plannet earth, plus the sun heat, the
world must get warmer. God made parts of the world to be warmed during dar
and rest at night. Lighting the world day and night is agaist nature.

Nil.
I am sure that the bees that are buzzing in the state of Texas on a summer
evening create as much heat as all those lightbulbs. No one is upset about
the bees.
The risk is maybe the light will penetrate into your skull and
then you might actually wake up. LoL
just kidding, Not!
Jah Love
you are correct,
maybe we should light the night with fire. Fire is natural, given to us by
God.
that should solve the problem
''Lighting the world day and night is agaist nature.'' Guess
what, the Sun shines on the earth night and day. The effect of all the
light bulbs is nil compared to the Sun. Why are you sure ''Lighting the
world day and night is agaist nature?'' You need to go have some fun.
The earth will be here for a few billion more years.
Now with space telescopes like Hubble, the effect of ''night light'' on astronomy is very limited.
I love it when people use the term ''fossil fuels'' !
Look there were never enuff Dinosaurs on this planet to make all the
''fossil fuels'' that we have used. Oil is a natural occuring product of
this planet just like water and air !
The only thing ''fossil'' about it is that so many people still believe in it !
The thermal efficiency of a modern fossil-fueled power plant is
a little better than 50%, so about 1/2 the power used for the lighting got
wasted at the power plant. We could drop this wastage by about 75% by
going to more efficient LED or cold-florescent lighting. We would also
save money by doing so.
The light that you see in the satellite images has already escaped from
the earth is atmosphere, so it makes no contribution to global warming beyond what was lost as heat at the powerplant. It does disrupt astronomer is views as well as upsetting bird & animal migration pattern & other behaviors. Where we need the light, we could again prevent wastage & save money by putting better reflectors on the lights so they shine only where we want them. We can not do much about what god has wrought, nor do I think that any of us has a very good idea what her intentions are. We can, however, screw with nature a lot less & save ourselves a lot of money by doing what WE want precisely & without gratuitous waste.
No I don't really think lighting would contribute to Global
Warming. It is such a small factor & besides, the stuff people are doing
these days to help ''Go Green'' kinda just gets rid of anything the
lighting may do if it did do harm.
But the Global warming that we've had recently could actually be a good
thing. Temperatures have been dropping & it is be theorized that if global warming did not happen, we might have had a mini ice age. Besides, who says it even is global warming? There have been hot seasons & there have been cold seasons. It is all just part of the cycle Earth goes through. Oh & Slaps. I completely agree with you. There is been many a time where I've tried to look at the stars but with all the lights around there is nothing to see.
this is very helpful because it makes the sky get clearer and
release gases into space.
Lighting the world day & night is against nature, in some
sense, & it has some negative impacts on society & the environment. It
keeps up stress levels, without allowing people the real peace of a dark
night. It is always daylight, & things are always happening. It inhibits
our sense of wonder as we look to the millions of stars & feel so small.
Today, few people can ever see more than a couple dozen stars, & it has a
real negative impact on astronomy. It causes problems for some animals that come out a twilight, who get confused, or animals that hide at night by use of the dark, who are now visible all the time. But, regarding global warming, even the most shrill alarmist would admit that the impact is very minor. And, with a light bulb, most of that energy does get emitted safely into space, so there isn't so much to worry about.
Well energy usage and wastage is a very serious issue, even if
we use energy efficient light bulbs, producing energy is fairly expensive
and so conservation is the best answer. This applies not just to energy
but to water as well. Water too thought to be in abundant supply until
recently is now becoming a scarce resource in many parts of the world. It
is time we began conservation and for some excellent tips on water
conservation please visit http://bewaterwise.com/tips01.html
Your back yard pool or garden fountain cause more potential
warming than your lights do. AGW proponents never studied science and so
missed out on the fact that warming only happens during conditions of high
humidity. When humidity is low things cool off fast.

My out door lights are solar powered leds. I use led lamps in
my office.
The effect is people not being killed or injured by crime or not seeing
where they are going.
Living past 30 years is unnatural. Surviving child birth is unnatural. Small dogs are unnatural. Surviving an infection is unnatural. Computers are unnatural. I bet the astronomers would like this idea.
The electricity to light these bulbs is produced mostly by
fossil fuels which create CO2, and contribute to global warming. Much of
the lighting is unnecessary and wasteful.
There is no effect. Our puny lighting is insignificant. The
light of even the strongest wattage bulb such as construction or stage
lighting rolls off quickly. From only a few feet away, you cannot detect
the warmth of a bulb.

i died my hair darkest brown How do i get back to my natural light brown ? I just baught a 92 toyota tercel and the back lights wont work On a 2001 Ford Windstar - No back lights are working, no dome lights are working - Fuses OK, Front lights work Sunset back lighting with fishing net, any tips on this subject, how are my images What is blinking green light in back of cpu under power connector? how do I get my lighting fuse to switch back on?
