how to stop global warming?

Question

what can we do to stop global warning? any examples or complete answers of how?

Answer 1

Two more suggestions, both things you can write your MP about. First, tell your MP to ask Canada's government to force all oil tar companies to follow strict pollution regulations, with penalties so huge that they'll comply.

And second, tell your MP to have our government put a pollution surcharge on every airline flight using a Canadian airport. Every executive class seat, at least, should pay for its disgustingly large carbon footprint. A return New York to London flight, for example, uses twice as much fuel per passenger as you use in your car for a whole year.

Answer 2

In this regards, all the industries should adopt the Principle of Sustainable Development that means excess development result in Global warming.
On this issue, Our Hon'ble Late Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi warn the developed nation for causing Global Warming which ultimately affects the Poor people of the country.

Answer 3

On a personal basis, don't waste energy. From Indian farmers building more efficient straw-burning cookstoves to Americans buying LED lighting, insulating their houses, and riding the bike instead of the SUV to the convenience store, this is where we can have the largest impact globally right now, and it saves money to boot.
Consider waste when you buy. Everything you buy is going to end up thrown out eventually, and disposal costs money, space and energy you would rather use for something else. Building and buying with recycling in mind is another change of habit that's win-win.

Socially, the fossil fuel industries control about 10% of the world's economy. Not surprisingly, a large portion of the world's laws and tax codes favor those industries. Not surprisingly, those who control those industries would like to keep it that way. This is the most difficult legal and political area, and I for one don't have a clue as to how it will be worked out.

In economics, most experts feel that the cap-and-trade approach for emissions gives the free market the best shot at helping to solve the problem, and most economics experts feel that the free market is our best shot overall at getting the technological fixes designed and implemented. For this free-market approach, the caps have to apply globally.

In governmental spending - the earlier in the research cycle public money is spent, the better the return. Right now there is an absolute explosion in things to be learned about nanotechnology and how to manipulate it. Funding university labs to learn how to manipulate molecules and photons on this scale leads to the discoveries that the venture capitalists will be happy to finance taking to commercial feasibility. Those discoveries are going to revolutionize our generation, transmission and storage of energy worldwide the way we have already done with communication.
Another place that we can use public money advantageously is in economy of scale. My favorite example is loans to small cities to upgrade traffic lights to LED technology all at once, instead of as the old lights wear out. Everyone saves money and energy over a decade's time. Government financing for insulation upgrades in existing buildings can help this way too. It allows economy of scale to apply without attempting market regulation .

There is a lot to be done, but there is a lot that CAN be done. We would have been better off starting 30 years ago but it is still true that we will be better off in the future if we start taking things seriously now.

Answer 4

Quite simple really - we stop pumping the atmosphere full of pollutants - specifically HFCs and CO2.

We stop driving our cars, flying our planes, and running our power stations.

Oh yes - and I read somewhere that cows flatulence contributes hugely to global warming, so we need to invest in a few million corks.

Seriously though - we all need to be a little more responsible about our rampant consumerism.

Answer 5

There is really nothing any one person can do. It's called "global" for a reason. It has occurred over many years and many sources of pollution. The problem is truly global. Any abatement will have to be done by governments forcing people to change their life styles.

What luck do you think we are gonna have in convincing the Chinese not to build hundreds of coal burning power plants?

Answer 6

Walk everywhere bath less Don't heat our homes don't cook our food. Stop all privet transportation. live in caves. Stop paving the roads. turn off all the computers use atomic generated electricity. keep the people who proclaim to be environmentalists from using private airplanes Till the soil with horses. Expand wind mill generated electricity (except where Ted Kennedy can see them) turn off the refrigerator. read by candlelight, turn off the radio. Harness all the hot air that comes from Washington D.C.

Answer 7

go to www.globalwarming.com they have things you can do at home,work and in the car to help stop global warming

Answer 8

The only thing permanent in life is CHANGE. That includes the oceans, mountains & global weather.

Answer 9

Get back to a simpler way of life and quit driving cars and having factories make all this stuff we really don't need.

Answer 10

Three things.

Conserve energy (this can be done without throwing your car away).

Develop alternatives to fossil fuel.

Do research about how to capture (sequester) CO2.
