What keys do we have already to help solving this and what additional techniques can you think of?

so, i think we (humanity and its technology) should always be moving forward...there's no reason to remain stagnant much less revert backward. i am a strong supporter of the production of cleaner, greener vehicles. many people have an issue with mandating our car manufacturers to produce better cars/trucks. so, i'm wondering about this: what if we index every car make model and year and categorize it for emissions and gas consumed. ok. now, what if we used that categorization to regulate how much driving someone can do in that car? better cars can be driven virtuously forever whereas dirty cars (such as hummers and big trucks/suvs) would have more restrictions on how much you could drive them per year. now, many will cry about freedom to drive anything anywhere for however long but i'm sure in the 70s some people still wanted lead in their gas, but that really wasn't what was best. businesses etc would get more drive time depending on need. comments!!!

Right now in Toronto (Jan 5) it is 13 Degrees Celcius, usually it is -2. They are saying that it is the warmest year ever on record this year.
Im not complaining, I hate snow and cold but I dont want to be warm at the expense of the world.
I find it very frightening, anyone else?

The US land area that is taken by urbanization, including cities and roads, is 5%. A volcano admits more gases into the atmosphere than humans could ever do. Satellites show that in the past few decades that the Sahara desert is shrinking and Antartica ice sheets are growing larger. If you can prove me wrong please do so. Give me Scientific evidence by a respected source, not an opinion or what you think you know. If the answer is not a link or quoted by someone with REAL scientific knowledge, we will see your answer as ignorant. answers will be reviewed aloud for school study and report on The Internet's effect on Views of Global Warming .
Thanks, Ben

Whenever I read or watch something about global warming they always say how the ice caps haven't been melting like this for five thousand years, couldn't what caused them to melt back then be causing them to melt now and then that would mean that global warming isn't nearly as bad as we thought.

Geographers define an ice age as a period in the Earths history when there are ice caps. Our current climate is an 'interglacial' period. This doesn't mean 'between ice ages'. It is used to describe the period within an ice age when the ice retreats because of warmer temperatures.
'Our' interglacial started 10,000 years ago, in what we think is the Fourth Ice Age. FOURTH!
An interglacial period ranges from 12,000 to 50,000 years.
The causes of the fluctuations are not well understood. Possible factors include the position that the land masses happen to be in, the composition of the atmosphere, changes in the planets orbit around the Sun and possibly even the Sun's own orbit around the galaxy.
The 'Little Ice Age' which began in 1500 and lasted for 300 years, saw the average temperature in northern Europe drop by 1 degree Centigrade. It also coincided with a period of extremely low sunspot activity. Who did the government blame then, when it eventually melted?
We are being conned.

Forget for a moment the arguement as to what is causing climate change. Even if we were to all agree that the melting glaciers and Polar Ice Caps weredue to natural changes, should we be trying to figure something out that we can do? Even if it is natural shouldn't we be concerned? How can those that say 'it's just nature' shrug and walk away from the problem.

Consider this, when the Polar Cap is gone, Greenland's ice follows. When that goes estimates put Atlantic water levels high enough that we will not need to worry about the 9/11 memorials. That site in Manhatten will be under water.

i live in a country where there is sun (very hot weather) all round year, plenty of money and stable conditions (politically economically...etc), cheap labor, no taxes (<5% tariff) however, energy bills are quite expensive. i think solar panel business (sales, distribution and installation) would be extremely profitable. where do i start from?
