Solar Panels are Bad for the Environment And Global Warming is a Myth

The U.S. experienced record-breaking amounts of snow last winter. Concerned citizens have found conclusive evidence that last year’s cold was a result of the increased use of solar panels. The sun already becomes weaker in the winter and solar panels not only make sure that solar energy is converted to usable energy, but also further drain the sun of its energy. If global warming was not a myth, the consequences it would have are nothing compared to the consequences that solar panels will have on the Earth. The most probable of these is the possibility of another ice age.

The concerned citizens did the research by conducting a survey in their neighborhood in Wyoming. The sample population included a broad range of citizens, with children as young as four years old and senior citizens of up to 97 years of age. They were asked to give their thoughts on the hypothesis that solar panels played a major role in draining the sun’s energy and almost everyone believed that investing in solar panels was a waste of money. This made it clear that the hypothesis was unanimously agreed upon and so, is conclusive.

Solar panels are stripping plants of the little solar energy that they require to photosynthesize. Solar panels have taken more than their fair share of the sun's energy and proof of this can be seen everywhere, with leaves falling from trees as winter approaches because solar farms don’t let them get the amount of sunlight they require.

Solar farms also have a detrimental effect on the economy of countries with tropical climates. Since they receive a lot of sunlight, their governments mistakenly believe that solar panels will be an economical and environmentally friendly way to create energy. If this misconception continues, the sun will become weaker in the tropical areas and the climate in those countries will become very cold, reducing tourism and in turn, negatively affecting the economy. The people in those areas will also not know how to handle the cold climate, possibly causing a large number of deaths.

Solar farms may also increase the risk of skin cancer. The panels take in Ultra-Violet rays from the sun and so instead of the UV radiation being reflected on the Earth’s surface and going back into space, it is trapped within planet Earth. We unknowingly keep close proximity with solar panels, increasing our risk of getting skin cancer because of the radiation. Hence, it is important that awareness is created so solar farms are shut down. Since the farms have created a radioactive zone, it is unsafe for anyone to live in or around that area now or in the future, even if the farms are shut down.

It will, however, take many years before everyone in the U.S. is convinced about this, as mainstream media has brainwashed many people into believing in global warming and in the concept that solar panels will reduce the rate of global warming. The number of solar farms is increasing and people have even gone so far as to install solar panels in their homes. Some are doing this so that they can avoid paying a monthly electricity bill but some misinformed citizens are installing the panels because they think they are being more environmentally friendly.

It is vital that awareness about the high risk of solar panels is spread immediately so that poorer tropical countries don’t destroy their economy, the rate of skin cancer does not increase and another ice age does not occur. Alternate energy sources such as the burning of coal and fossil fuels should be fully taken advantage of in order to make sure that the Earth remains green forever.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
