what do you think that would stop global warming?

Question

since global warming is becoming an importnat threat to humans now a days what possible steps we need to follow to free our planet from this...as you see melting glaciers, spoiling beauty of great barrier reef, katrina,rita,tsunami etc....

Answer 1

The main culprit for global warming is burning / using of FOSSIL fuels.

So, we have to find an alternative to this and stop the dumping of co and co2 gases to our atmosphere.

The next thing to be done is, we have to STOP cutting trees and instead we should START to plant and grow more trees. By doing so, we can purify our atmosphere and bring back our planet to normal.

But, this is really a challenging job. And at the same time, the day when we switch over to environmental friendly fuel is not far enough as, in a particular country (dont remember the name) they have tested hydrogen as the fuel to drive their car.

Answer 2

We cannot stop this phenomenon, because we cannot mend the ozone layer which has already got some damage. We can try not to enhance it further by protecting the nature for eg. reduce ground water consumption for industries,multistoreyed buildings, etc. by which we are compelling the earth to remain dry which is causing disappearance of wells, land slides and dryness of forest etc. Because of the white coloured job,we are not taking interest towards water born cultivations like paddy, which will increase the water source of our earth. Cleaning of forest for personal gains, abandoning the natural water sources etc.are addition to the loss. If we can control misuse of natural resources,emission of polluted air into the nature,we can atleast arrest the stage of global warming to some extent..

Answer 3

It will take several things. No one thing will solve this enormous problem.

Conserving energy. Higher mileage cars, better insulated houses, more efficient manufacturing.

Non-fossil fuel sources of energy, including nuclear, solar, wind.

New technology to dispose of carbon dioxide.

Note to the sceptics. Here are the facts. Not the musings of a science fiction writer. The scientific community is solid on this, it's not "radical environmental activists".

Answer 4

If there was a way to make CO2 emissions into a different compound we could virtually eliminate our contribution to global warming..unfortunately we are just part of the problem, the warming is inevitable as it is part of earths normal cycle of temperature fluctuation

Answer 5

What do you mean globle warming? Is it ozon layer holes or
environmental changes? In both questions co2 must be reduced
it is the only way.

Answer 6

Global Warming Catastrophe Debunked By Scientists On Fox Special
By Rev. Louis P. Sheldon
Chairman, Traditional Values Coalition

May 23, 2006 - Fox News reporter David Asman hosted an important investigative report on Sunday evening entitled, “Global Warming: The Debate Continues.” This latest report was a counterpoint to a Fox feature that aired last November on the same topic. Asman’s report featured numerous scientists and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) who chairs the U.S. Senate Committee On Environment and Public Works.

All of those interviewed for this show were skeptical of the claims made by former Vice President Al Gore and radical environmental activists on the causes, extent and potential damage that global warming might cause to the future of our planet.

Much of the hysteria generated by Gore and his cronies in Hollywood about global warming causing melting icecaps or the flooding of coastal cities, is unsupported by scientific data, according to meteorologists and climatologists who were interviewed for Asman’s special. In fact, many of the same environmentalists in the 1970s who were screaming about pollution bringing about a new ice age, are now claiming just the opposite with their dire warnings about global warming. They were wrong then; they are wrong now.

Those scientific experts who were interviewed by Asman pointed out that the computer models used by Al Gore and other environmental activists to predict future world flooding, etc., are notoriously unreliable. These models fail to take into account the extraordinarily complex nature of the environment. Two of the scientists interviewed by Asman said that activity on the sun may be a major factor that is overlooked by the Chicken Little environmentalists.

Radicals like Al Gore typically look at the worst-case scenarios—and those are based on flawed computer models—that fail to take into account future scientific breakthroughs. Gore and his cronies also ignore the current efforts being made by the Bush Administration to encourage such technology as energy plants that convert coal into gas—or technology that converts grains into low emission fuels.

Senator James Inhofe has called the claim that global warming is a man-made problem, as “the world’s greatest hoax.” I am convinced he is correct—and many reputable scientists agree with him.

Former surgeon and best-selling author Michael Crichton wrote “State of Fear” in 2004 to expose the radical environmental movement and its wildly inaccurate claims about future ecological disasters being caused by global warming. Crichton researched the environmental issue for three years before he began writing this book—and wrote a devastating critique of environmentalism in his author’s message in “State of Fear.” Crichton observed: “Nobody knows how much warming will occur in the next century. The computer models vary by 400%, de facto proof that nobody knows. … We can’t ‘assess’ the future, nor can we ‘predict’ it. These are euphemisms. We can only guess. An informed guess is just a guess.”

So, the next time Al Gore gives a speech about man-made global warming, melting ice caps, and flooded coastal cities, keep in mind that he’s just guessing—and basing his wild opinions on the worst case scenarios developed by unreliable computer models. (And, remember that this is Hollywood’s pick for the presidential run in 2008.)

Al Gore has a history of making statements that are unsupported by the facts. Entire web sites have been developed to chronicle Gore’s misstatements, including one published by National Review magazine several years ago. This is hardly a man who could be trusted with our national defense or environment if he became president.

Answer 7

OF COURSE MAN NEEDS TO STOP INTERFERING WITH NATURE, BUT I PERSONALLY DONT BELIEVE MAN IS TOTALLY AT FAULT WITH GLOBAL WARMING, ALTHOUGH I BELIEVE HE HAS A PART IN IT. I THINK ITS A NATURAL PHENOMENA, THAT OCCURS EVERY FEW MILLIONS/BILLIONS OF YEARS. LETS JUST HOPE MAN DOESNT CAUSE "GLOBAL WARMING'' WITH THERMO-NUCLEAR WAR!!!!!!! WITH THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES LIKE IRAN/NORTH KOREA, DEVELOPING NUCLEAR WEAPONS, "GLOBAL WARMING" IS ALOT CLOSER THAN WE MAY REALIZE!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Nothing.
It is too late to stop it.
It may be possible to slow it.

Answer 9

tll america and israel to stop throwing all those crazy nuc
