how do you stop global warming?

Answer 1

"Global warming" is a modern term for a natural event.

It happens. No one causes it and certainly no one stops it.

Answer 2

Well, I guess you can call what's happening Global warming, but it's not really serious right now. You can't really STOP it, the ozone has already been damaged, you can't just repair it and hope that everything'll be normal. This climate change will not affect this generation very much, maybe 300 years from now it will be a problem, but not now. The temperature of the entire earth will increase I think it was 3 or 4 F in the next 100 years or so, I'm not worried about that some bad weather is gonna kill us all. But we indeed should be worrying, you can go to several site to see what kind of things that you can do, such as you know, using energy efficient electronics and clean up trash, or something like that. But unless a miracle happens and somehow the ozone heals itself, there is no great thing that we can do. Start with the little things, and hope that everyone will do the same.

Answer 3

Global warming is real.

Anyone who says there is no such thing is an idiot. There was a report published that wasn't made by an environmental group that said if nothing is done 250,000,000 will become homeless and to sort it then will cost over 1/5 of the worlds economy.

It is hard to do stop but start buying energy saving appliances, insulate your house and switch off all appliances and lights when you are finished with them

So don't leave your T.V on standby

Really that's all you can do

And it will also save you money on your energy bill as a bonus

Answer 4

No it is very real. You can notice it in the changing of seasons. Season who come and go like clockwork are getting late or come early, it is a sure sign. Once in a rainy season it rains so hard to drown cities and other time there is not a single drop. If we could only stop engines from creating fumes, stop use of plastic products, and try to dispose our garbage in a more attuned fashion, maybe we could decrease the horrible ratio of global warming.

Answer 5

What are people doing to stop global warming?

People are doing many things to try to stop global warming. One thing people are doing is carpooling. Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. This minimizes the amount of greenhouse gases put into the air by a car.

Another thing that people are doing is being more careful about leaving things turned on like the television, computer, and the lights. A lot of people are taking time away from the television, and instead, they are spending more time outdoors. This helps our planet out a lot. Now, more people are even riding busses, walking to school, and riding their bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air. Planting trees and recycling also helps. If you recycle, less trash goes to the dump, and less trash gets burned. As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere.

Watch what you buy. Many things, such as hairspray and deodorant, now are made to have less of an impact on the atmosphere. Less greenhouse gasses will rise into the air, and global warming will slow down.

What is the government doing to stop global warming?

The government is doing many things to help stop global warming. The government made a law called The Clean Air Act so there is less air pollution. Global warming is making people get very bad illnesses that could make them disabled, very sick, and sometimes even die. The Clean Air Act is making many companies change their products to decrease these problems. Part of the law says that you may not put a certain amount of pollutants in the air. Hairspray and some other products, like foam cups, had this problem. Making and using these products let out too much volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), ozone-destroying chemicals (chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), and related chemicals (such as CO2) into the air. Now, almost all of these products have a label on them telling people what this product can do to the environment and many people. By 2015 all products listed on the Clean Air Act will have this label on them:

WARNING: contains or manufactured with (the chemical would go here. For example chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s), a substance which harms public health and the environment by destroying ozone in the upper atmosphere.


Almost all of the other chemicals that could be harmful will have this label on them hopefully by this time (2015) as well.

The Clean Air Act has also made car companies change some of the things inside of the cars. Cars pollute a lot. While cars make more than half of the world’s smog (visible pollution in the air), many things that cars need to move and heat up make even more pollution. Some things that are inside of cars, buses, trucks, and motorcycles, like gasoline, pollute the air when the fuel is burned. It comes out as a chemical and when mixed in the air, forms smog. Smog is a kind of pollution that you see in the form of a cloud. If you have ever been to California you can see a lot of smog in some places. Sometimes the smog gets so bad that you cannot see at all! Smog forms when car exhaust, pollution from homes, and pollution from factories mixes in the air and has a chemical reaction. The sun’s heat and light add to the reaction.

Cars, buses, and trucks are also responsible for over 50% of dangerous chemicals let into the air. Some of these chemicals can cause cancer, birth defects, trouble breathing, brain and nerve damage, lung injures, and burning eyes. Some of the pollutants are so harmful that they can even cause death.

What are some of the other dangerous chemicals?

Some other chemicals that cause air pollution and are bad for the environment and people are:

Ozone- Ozone is produced when other pollution chemicals combine. It is the basic element of smog. It causes many different kinds of health issues dealing with the lungs. It can damage plants and limit sight. It can also cause a lot of property damage.

VOC’s (volatile organic compounds, smog formers)- VOC’s are let into the air when fuel is burned. This chemical can cause cancer. It can also harm plants.

NOx (nitrogen dioxide)- This chemical forms smog. It is also formed by burning sources of energy, like gas, coal, and oil, and by cars. This chemical causes problems in the respiratory system (including the lungs). It causes acid rain, and it can damage trees. This chemical can eat away buildings and statues.

CO (carbon monoxide)- The source of this chemical is burning sources of energy. It causes blood vessel problems and respiratory failures.

PM-10 (particulate matter)- The source of this chemical is plowing and burning down fields. It can cause death and lung damage. It can make it hard for people to breathe. The smoke, soot, ash, and dust formed by this chemical can make many cities dirty.

Sulfur Dioxide- This chemical is produced by making paper and metals. This chemical can cause permanent lung damage. It can cause acid rain which kills trees and damages building and statues.

Lead- This chemical is in paint, leaded gasoline, smelters, and in lead storage batteries. It can cause many brain and nerve damages and digestive problems

Answer 6

There is no such thing as Global Warming. Earth repeats the temperature every 10 years or something. There is no such thing

Answer 7

well you really cannot stop it but you can try by recycling cans paper exd. i am trying also and when u have a short trip insted of using your car ride your bike or walk that is all i know and it helps trust me

Answer 8

I think there are two possible solutions:

One put out the sun.

Two, ban all the hot air coming out of Al Gore and his friends.

Answer 9

Ban the automobile. Ban electricity. Ban every packaged product. Everybody will have to start living like cavemen. That is the only way to stop it. Are you willing?

Answer 10

Put a duct tape gag on every politician you can find. :)
I have yet to see one that wasn't full of hot air.
