If nothing, why?

1st things first most scientist's agree that at this point we can't stop global warming. Its an act that is in motion and the cycle is so long and so dynamic we will see many changes in our life time. Some of the past may become memories to not be seen again for a very long time.
I'm trying to be less dependent on corporate America out of debt and working with natural resources. Im also gardening more to reduce the need wastes and chemicals.

Absolutely nothing. In fact, if I actually could make a difference (which is ridiculous to think I could one way or the other), I would try to increase global warming. People are idiots not to realize that ice ages are far worse for all the cute fuzzy plants and animals than are the warmer periods which characterize the VAST majority of time that there has been life on Earth.
Pop quiz: How many people are even AWARE that 90% of the time there have been NO ice caps on our planet? (and life thrived)

Hi. Global warming (or the more accurate term "climate change") is, in my opinion, inevitable at this point. A much better question may be "How do we prepare for climate change?". For one, stop the silly practice of building in areas that will soon be ocean. Get the main roads higher or re-route them. Consider floating cities. Prepare parts of the country for population shift/migration. That sort of thing.

Reduce the usage of fossil fuels.Because fossil fuels are increasing the CO2 level. CO2 is the major reason for the global warming.

Commit suicide NOW, because by living in a modern world you will in some way contribute to warming by living. That is, assuming the current scientific arguments on the subject are correct. Wary about the moral ramifications of suicide? Remember, a real friend would shoot you in the face when asked.

Reduce as far as reasonably possible your energy consumption. Concentrate on the BIG items. (I have heard people giving up electric toothbrushes to slow global warming .... oh dear)
Try to persuade your local politicians to get in on the act
Persuade George Bush
Have a good time and don't worry about it too much

Use incinerator generators for all combustable refuse (including plastics and styrofoam) to turn their potential energy into electricity.
Also, nuclear power plants with glass-infusion of the waste to stabilize it.
Also, perfect hydrogen fuel cells.
Use more solar panelling in buildings.
More wind-powered turbines.
All of these (excepting the hydrogen fuel cells) are available now, and would limit our need to use fossil fuels.

Walk more
Drive less
Only use a light when it's 100% necessary (I'm typing this using sunlight - no electricity at all).
