Question:

I heard someone answer a relativity question this way, is it valid?

A spaceship accelerating nearer and nearer to the speed of light becomes more massive because its extreme velocity digs the ship into the curvature of space. The faster the ship goes the more resistance the curvature of space puts up and since mass is the resistance to acceleration the the ship gains mass.Is this a valid explanation, or at least a good way to visualize it? If it is valid wouldn't that mean the speed of light is a way to measure the curvature of space?

Answer:

Hydro-electric dams by themselves do not produce green house gases, but it is the havoc that these dams can cause to the environment as a result of their contruction and the ensuing flooding of areas near and far and the resulting loss of valuable land, fauna and flora which constitutes the downside of this otherwise ingenious device. Most countries now agree that huge dams which cause extensive environmental damage should be avoided in favour of smaller micro-dams which can be used for irrigation, water conservation as well as small scale power generation.
Make it look ironic. You're a goth, but you're wearing a cute pink shirt or something. Maybe. Idk. lol.I'm not a goth. But I think it would work. The anti goth clothes can look misplaced in contrast to the goth hair, jewelry, makeup, and music. Displacement is a big part of being a goth supposedly.
They're contributing in some ways and offsetting in others. The large concrete dams use huge quantities of cement in their production, the extraction and processing of cement is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases. The body of water created by the construction of a dam is stationery in comparison to the river that would ordinarily flow. This allows the surface of the water to warm and evapourate more readily than it would with running water. The increased burden of atmospheric water vapour will contribute to global warming - more so in areas with lower humidity and higher temperatures. Dams often lead to flooding of vegetated areas, this removes some biomass from the carbon cycle, the consequence of which is areduction in the amount of carbon dioxide sequesteered from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. On the other hand, water is more reflective than earth and plant material and so reflects sunlight into space more efficiently thus partially offsetting the contribution made to warming. If the still waters of the reservoir are home to algae this will sequester CO2 from the atmosphere, algae are excellent at doing this. I guess the answer in respect of any one dam would be arrived at by summing the offsetting and contributory factors of the different components with the result that some dams are contributing to global warming whereas others are. The purpose of the dam also needs to be taken into account. If that purpose is for hydro-electricity generation then there would be a substantial benefit if it meant a reduction in the burning of fossil fuels to generate the same power in conventional power stations. There would be no net benefit if the alternative were nuclear power as both nuclear and hydro produce almost no greenhouse gas emissions.
GW is a myth. It's a political posturing move and seems to be working with all the sheeple here that believe it's true. Normal cyclical climate changes are occurring as they have for thousand of years. +
they can cause environmental problems
