Cant we take more cars out and re-do them to make them use electricity or something ...maybe from the sun light...

shouldn't we all take buses or car pool...T-T cause i dont think it's suppose to be this warm in the winter...and i have a feeling it will never snow again where i live sadly....*pouts* XD and i'm not going to artica for the snow lol* =p i prefer the summer /spring but doesn't mean i want the planet to go choatic......do you think the people will ever change...or will it be too late...T_T think were gonna die in a couple of decades from now?? b/c of the fresh water melting and snow decreasing in certain countries on mountains...

You're being brainwashed by school, the media and politicians.
Its highly debatable whether humans are influencing global warming. Every 11,500 years, the earth goes through a major extinction with a global warming and cooling phase (ice age.) Paleontologists are able to track this through soil samples. We may actually be headed into an ice age because we are coming to the tail end of the current cycle. The problem is that the media and politicians get focussed on a piece of the puzzle and try to simplify this issue. Don't be fooled. There is probably nothing humans can do. Even if we could, there is no way you can control China who is becoming a major world polluter. Humans will need to adapt to climate change. Where I live there are small changes in our weather pattern, but nothing major. A lot of the media is hype to sell newspapers. The only caution is that some past climate changes have been more radical, swinging wildly from hot to cold. Others have brought on instant and severe cold conditions. I know the area that I live used to be buried in hundreds on feet of ice, but temperatures are mild today... Humans will just need to wait and see what mother nature brings and adapt as necessary.

Cars aren't the reason the climate is changing. At least they're not the only reason.

According to latest scientific research, the sun is emitting more heat, thereby causing global warming not just on earth, but also on other planets in our solar system. Check out the links I provided--there's plenty more research available online too.

While it's great to be good stewards of spaceship earth, to clean up smog and make sure the ecosystem stays in balance, there's bigger problems out there than so-called global warming. Let's look at the chemicals that are injected into our livestock to make them more profitable for the food corporations, or the toxicity levels of our water supplies. These are things people can get involved with, point to specific industries or corporations, and effect change. Whereas global warming is just this big concept that can't be pinpointed and the enemy is often reduced to the soccer mom who drives a Tahoe instead of a Camry, or who drives at all instead of taking public transportation.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you're going to be an activist, don't try to change the whole population, find localized problems and bring attention to that, thereby affecting measurable change on a local level. If every community had an activist that sought to change that community and only that community, the nation and world as a whole would change as a result.

Considering that the amount of pollution that humans are adding to what nature produces is at most 10% when there is little volcanic activity and much less when we have major volcanic activity I would have to say that anything that we try to do will be a drop in the bucket compared to what nature produces. Also, as some one else has already wrote, we are at the end of another 10,000 year cycle, the first known one that we have writing to record. Also, considering that we only have been monitoring our climate for less than 300 years faithfully, everything is based on theories. All signs point that after the Earth warms up to a certain point, than an Ice Age follows because of the clouds and other natural occurring events.

first of all ppl dont cause as much global warming as you might think. there is more global warming caused by cows alone then by all the cars and automobiles in the world so dont listen to Gore. He's an idiot. the whole world wont get chaotic cuz of global warming only the idiots. and the chickens.so what about the snow? cant there be years where the snow level drops and other years where it rises? everyone worrys cuz of the snow but why? if they look in the past it was much lower. it doesnt mean we are all going to die. whose fault is it to build so close to the ocean? exactly...... stupid ppl.... dont believe what the government says about global warming. all they are good for is to mislead the public and try and control the world through democracy. which is a good plan on paper unless the majority of a country is made up of idiots, which im afraid to say is true in this case

The problem exists in the fact that not every one believes that global warming is caused by burned fuel emissions. Some think that it is more likely a sun cycle thing. Some think it is a temporary change in weather patterns. It is intersting that John in the book of Revelation sees that massive amounts of people will suffer skin boils in the last days - I suppose it futile to conjecture that this could be caused from ultraviolet light burns.
Now, if global warming, which causes the polar caps to melt, thus flooding coastal cities around the world, and increased levels of radiation creating escalated cancer and other health problems, and changed ocean current and air current patterns, thus bringing on catostophic weather changes, is actually caused by C02 emissions, I say we plant more trees and other oxygen producing plants and manage our forests, buy smaller cars and force the failing auto manufacturers to build responsibly for a change, quit importing so many products form overseas (fuel is needed to transport stuff), start recycling more products, stop manufacturing and purchasing certain refrigerants (another issue), and subsidizing homes that use more energy per cubic foot per month than average (natural gas and electric heat are two huge producers of C02).
Now, that is IF global warming is caused by C02 emissions - haven't seen a proof yet...lot's of theory. There's the problem.

Go to these links and buy an electric car. I will warn you, the first like ugly and about $10,000 the second is Cherry and about $80,000. But, I am sure everyone will buy one or the other to do their part.

Next, we need to close down all the Factories that contribute to this. I am sure the people who lose their jobs will agree with this as their contribution.

Then we close down the Coal Energy Plants and go to Hydro-electric and Nuclear. I am sure the Environmentalists will agree this is best compared to global warming.

Then we have to go to war with China to close the Coal Plants they keep building about every month. I am sure everyone will go for this idea.

OR, we can come to the conclusion that the above will not happen. But, on the optimistic side, we will all die from the Asteroid coming this way before Global Warming is a concern.

i don't have faith that there is a assure that worldwide warming won't worsen whether we do decrease off all carbon emissions. we've already dumped plenty carbon into the ambience, and used up lots of the buffer in the international in glaciers and ice caps. yet I additionally think of that we could be fools to not attempt. we are able to significantly decrease down on carbon emissions by toughening gas mileage standards, improving abode insulation, lowering the type of air airplane and motor vehicle journeys we take and bobbing up option potential for producing electricity. certainty is, photograph voltaic ability is a remarkable and sparkling option. Wind and hydro electric, too. Heck, i could prefer nuclear ability to coal or organic gas/petrolium-based ability era. and are not getting me started approximately struggling with deforestation! If we, as a race, fee survival, then we would desire to make some adjustments to our financial systems to deter carbon emissions and inspire the thoughts. that's an ordinary theory, yet i'm afraid our political systems will purely placed a million/2-hearted measures into place until we attain a real disaster. Exorting human beings to do all of the little issues is staggering, particularly while it includes development information. yet until we modify the equipment, different, much less considerate, voters will waste greater ability and expell greater hydrocarbons than we could in all danger shop. It *has* to be a collective attempt to have a real result.

There are some who believe that global warming is in fact human destiny, and part of our purpose as part of the evolution of the planet. Trying to change this and stop it from happening is a feature of the human ego. Perhaps the best favor you can do for yourself is accept that human destiny isn't always within human control.

I am upset about the "global warming" thing! Nicola Tesla had something much better that used the energy coming from the earth. It would not have cost much money for us consumers. One of the BIG reasons why we did not use the method is because his sponsor was upset that he would not make any money off it. See, its all about the money. It makes me upset. Our utility bills would be nothing and our cars would hardly cost a thing to run them. We would not have problems with the green house gases!!!!

Well, you know it's going to happen. Cars using electricity doesn't really help all that much because we burn coal to create electricity.

I always wondered why we couldn't cause a volcano or two to erupt and throw some dust into the atmosphere... that'd lower the temperature by a few degrees, enough to counter global warming.
