how can we stop global warming before we fry our butts?

Answer 1

we need to stop cutting down trees in the amazon and cut down on the pollution. when you think about it, that's not too hard to do.

Answer 2

I don't think we can stop it completely. CO2 levels are already far above the highest peaks of the last 400,000 years and we are continuing to increase our rate of adding more. As I see it, we would have to totally stop using any fossil fuel right now and also remove large amounts of CO2 from the air to really stop it. There is just no way that is going to happen. The best we can hope for is reduced use of fossil fuel, probably due to running out of oil more than restraining ourselves from using available oil, hope the warming isn't too severe, and adapt our civilization to the higher sea levels and altered weather patterns.

The often mentioned "fix" of planting trees just does not remove CO2. It merely cycles some of it from the air to wood and back to the air, when the trees die of old age. To permanently remove CO2 requires something like coral building new limestone reefs or something like that.

Answer 3

Pour Iron over high nutrient/low chlorophyll zones in the ocean.

An experiment done in 1993 showed that in In two weeks, 1,000 pounds of iron produced the biomass equivalent of 100 full-grown redwoods, sucking 2,500 tons of CO2 from the sky.

The journal Nature also published new results as well.

Answer 4

If you had been there during the supposed Ice Age do you think you could have stopped it? Could man have stopped the drought of the 1930's?

Don't take seriously all you hear, scientists(??) are usually wrong. It is one thing to observe the climate is warming and quite another to know why.

Answer 5

1) Vote politicians into office who are actually concerned about the condition of our planet and the affect we have by being here.

2) Convince more people that it is a *genuine* and *real* problem, that there is validity to science, and that it's not just some "liberal" notion (good luck with all of that)

3) Do as much as you can, individually, to try and limit how much you personally contribute to the problem.

Answer 6

Well you can do your part and stop using any tools, machines that run on petroleum. Then boycott any products that are made with such tools or from natural resources. You know, go back into the stone age. That will show them!!!

Answer 7

don't worry global warming will trigger an ice age if you don't fry ur gonna freeze

Answer 8

Ask Al Gore. He knows everything and invented the internet.
