Has any government put in place a scheme to help work against 'global warming'?

Question

As is obvious, the seasons are fast changing, sometimes much earlier or later or more intense. i sincerely hope things are being put in place to help revert the ultimate consequence.

Answer 1

Sorry, Moi, but no one seems to have a solution to climate change. There are so many people on Earth now that eliminating all artificial greenhouse gases would cause as much damage to mankind as the global warming. Think about a world with almost no electricity, no cars, no industry, no cattle and no fertilizer. Not even fires or barbecues for cooking your food. It isn't an appetizing option. The Kyoto protocol is so weak, if it were adopted and fully implemented by every nation on Earth its effects would be so small they couldn't even be measured; so small we would have no way of knowing whether it was worth doing. Throw on top of that the reality that the climate isn't stable to begin with and is going to change whether we do anything or not. The only long-term "solution" will be shifting everything to renewable energy, including solar, wind, tidal, hydroelectric, nuclear and biomass. That energy creates its own problems and combined they won't produce nearly as much energy as we get now from oil and coal, but at least they don't generate greenhouse gases.

Answer 2

Capnemo is an idiot, in every sense of the word.

First, his reference to NASA's picture is proof of global warming (notice the 200-year trend upwards?). The fact is, a single degree change in the average earth temperature is the difference between the ice age and now.

Second, his reference to a "secular scientific article that shows the earth was actually warmer" is not only irrelevant, but he obviously didn't read the article. The article was written in 1999, whereas the past 6 years have been the warmest on record. Further, the article states:
"Human-induced global warming is the raising of surface temperatures due to increased atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases."
and
"It is reasonable to conclude that global warming is a real threat,..."

??? How does this article go against global warming?

Third, his reference to the Harvard study is completely ignorant of the followup. 5 editors resigned in protest from the journal it was published in, including the managing editor. Harvard professors disagree with the findings, and the author of the study, Willie Soon, is a paid consultant for the George C. Marshall Institute, a Washington non-profit organization that opposes limits on carbon dioxide emissions.

Stop spreading lies, capnemo. The Earth is warming, mankind is responsible, and we need to do something about it.

Answer 3

First it has to be established as to whether Global Warming is really happening. Below is a link taking you to a NASA chart showing the temperature change from 1880 to 2005. Since 1880 the earth's temperature has risen less than 7/10 of 1 degree C. See for yourself here: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/2005cal_fig1.gif

There are numerous charts all over the internet showing the same. The fact that people choose to ignore the facts of these charts shows that they have an agenda to convince the masses of something that really is not happening.

In fact here's a link to a secular scientific article that shows the earth was actually warmer in the past than it is today.
http://www.msu.edu/course/isp/203/raeburn_old/fulltext/class9.pdf

And here's an article from a Harvard University study that says: "Such claims have now been sharply contradicted by the most comprehensive study yet of global temperature over the past 1,000 years. A review of more than 240 scientific studies has shown that today's temperatures are neither the warmest over the past millennium, nor are they producing the most extreme weather - in stark contrast to the claims of the environmentalists.
The review, carried out by a team from Harvard University, examined the findings of studies of so-called "temperature proxies" such as tree rings, ice cores and historical accounts which allow scientists to estimate temperatures prevailing at sites around the world.

The findings prove that the world experienced a Medieval Warm Period between the ninth and 14th centuries with global temperatures significantly higher even than today."

I hope that helps...
