In the world of scary stories, you hear 'factoids' like the one below which seem plausible, but which are unproven imaginings...
"If the rise in the amount of water in the atmosphere and in the seas were not enough. It's now understood that the oceans are less salty and floating plastics are lasting longer and longer, possibly billions of years more. There is growing concern that the way gravity on earth works is being transformed by the excessive use of fossil fuels. As we burn heavy materials like coal and liquid gas we are transforming them into light gases that simply rise up and up into the higher gaseous regions above earth. This has an extraordinary impact on the way gravity works down on the ground. Over time, the lighter weight of the solid materials on earth could lead to a rapid rise in the shifts occurring between continents that are referred to as continental drift. In one theory, this could mean a rise in the instability of areas between continents leading to more deeply embedded materials flowing to the surface and more violent earthquakes. The warming of the surface of the earth could lead to it expanding like a big balloon with the gaps between continents widening. In a vicious cycle this would lead to water flowing into volcanic cracks and producing steam leading to more and more gas vapour with life literally burned on the surface by steam sitting on the earth's surface boiling away at anything that can absorb water. Over time, it is feared that those volcanos that have been silent for hundreds of thousands of years could begin to push more material upward leading to more pumice and gases being released into the already overwhelmed atmosphere. The poisons and dust that the previously dormant volcanos release could halt air transport and bring about a catastrophic fall in trade and travel. Pension funds are scrambling to figure out whether they should now invest heavily in solar energy, which would return the earth's gravity to equilibrium once again while helping to reduce the pollution from volcanos and the burning of fossil fuels."
But, you shouldn't believe a word of it.... Just learn to think, to research and to distinguish between fact and fiction and risks before you invest your life savings in some scam like 'peak energy' designed to persuade you to part with your money....
Remember that the imagination can be the greatest source of "factoids". Yes, the world needs solar energy and yes it is the best place to invest your money, but be careful because it is fraught with risks and schemes designed to steal from you what little you still have.
