What can WE do to help stop Global Warming?

Answer 1

We can't stop global warming. If we didn't have global warming then we would still be in an ice age. I suggest that you go to this website. It will clear up a lot of your questions when it comes to what exactly global warming is, along with how the media blows it out of proportion.

Answer 2

some scientists believe that it has happened before and that the earth is getting warmer it is just a small step to another ice age and even if all the ice on earth does melt the world will not be coverd in water just more than what is right now i think i heard about a mile or so higher which if you think about it isnt that much so global warming may be only a small problem to a bigger one

Answer 3

What can we do? First, let's look at an example. You are in a room with no climate control... you are comfortable. You add 50 people to that room... over time it gets warmer. Now those 50 people are holding a candle, it's getting warmer yet. Now the 50 people have each invited a friend in... each of them with a computer ('puters give off heat) AND a candle... it's getting even warmer! Can you see where I am going with this? The answer to the question is one that no one wants to face. Unless you start kicking people out of your room (euthanasia) there is NOTHING that can ever be done. People are kidding themselves if they think any differently. Look at the increase of the world population over the last 50, 100, 1000 years! These are a LOT of bodies generating heat. Of COURSE the planet is going to be effected.

Answer 4

make your next vehicle a diesel. biodiesel will become more available in the near future. it's a greener fuel since it can come from vegetable oil. the vegetables take CO2 from the air while they are producing what will become fuel.

insulate your house-wasted energy warms the globe directly by letting hot air out and causing more coal to be burned to make more electricity

recycle- reusing materials takes less energy than producing them

don't listen to the idiots who think global warming is a myth. science is showing us new examples that it is a reality all the time.

Answer 5

I like global warming in general but if YOU stop driving YOUR car then maybe YOU can have an impact.

Answer 6

The amount of chemical pollutants in the water and soil are fast approaching and in many places has surpassed the earth's ability to heal itself. Crop failure is on the rise, even in the USA the returns on crops are smaller than they were 10 years ago. Even with the advances in genetically altered food crops, we are falling behind in our ability to produce enough to go around. Throughout the 20th century chemical fertilizers and pesticides were used to insure the best yields. Unfortunately many of these have contaminated ground water, killed beneficial insects along with the undesirable insects. These chemicals have gotten into the food chain and are affected other species besides mankind. It is only a matter of years before famine spreads like a cancer throughout the world.

Clean fresh water is in short supply, in many places well water is non-potable, containing the run off of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers that have been used on crops and lawns. The water treatment facilities we have are unable to scrub out all of the toxins we have placed in the soil and water supply. Many of the toxins we find build up over time in the body, a long slow poisoning which has been making its presence felt in many areas of the world in the form of cancers, leukemia, sterility, birth defects, learning disorders, immune deficiency problems, etc. These are on the rise, any good researcher can find the records. For decades there was public outcry for the end to pollution. For every small step we made to clean up our production, millions where born who added to the problem. Yes, pollution is down per individual, however there are a couple more billion individuals producing pollution, thus the real numbers have an increase in over all pollution produced.

Name a city that does not have problems with smog. You would be hard pressed to find one. Though smog controls on automobiles is higher than ever before, the number of autos on the road has increased thus the amount of smog producing pollutants is higher than ever before. All the clean air acts passed to curb individual factory and auto emissions did not address the production of more factories and more autos. Here an uneasy compromise was made between the need to maintain the economy against the need to maintain the ecology. The ecology lost since it was estimated to be a problem decades from now. The economy was a problem that would have dire effects today.

All of these factors combined have produced a scenario that in shorts boils down to the end of the world in 50 to 75 years. Even if we were to stop all emissions of pollution today, the inertia of past decades is enough to carry us over the brink in 100 years. However we cannot stop the production of pollution, to do so would mean shutting down every factory, every auto, every train, truck, ship and every household on the planet. Our civilization is geared to the use of energy, take away our energy and civilization will collapse.

SO THERE IT IS....WE CANNOT REVERSE WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND CANNOT STOP WHAT WE ARE STILL DOING.........AND IT'S ONLY GONNA GET WORSE.....WE'VE BASICALLY DOOMED OUR SELFISH, LAZY, STUPID SELVES........SO WAKE UP AND GET USED TO IT.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Look objectively at the data and then once you see that it is a MYTH and there is no factual scientific information to support it "poof" it is gone...

Answer 9

Drive more fuel efficient vehicles that pollute less.

Answer 10

Its all part of a natural weather patterns. Can't change mother nature.
