What can we do to reduce Global Warming this year?

Question

We paid not attention to it. Can we focus now?

Answer 1

The word is in people ! Global warming is real and the burning of fossil fuels is the principal cause.

I just heard a "scientist" on Lou Dobbs today say that we could not afford to do anything about global warming (he did admit that it is occurring) because we could not reduce the standard of living in the US. What does he think is going to happen when rising sea levels put most of our coastal cities under water.

The current administration has been persecuting any government scientist who agrees with the huge consensus in the world scientific community that global warming exists and is human caused. They claim that they are only being "fair and balanced".

It's about time that people wake up. This is NOT a political thing. But it is being made so by the same government that has consistently lied to the American public.

Rosie, With regard to the enslavement comment, he does have a point. Your original question implies that you are concerned about global warming, you think it's a problem, and you are now wondering what you can do about it. I hope that's right because that appears to be your thinking right now. Now let's talk hypothetically for a minute. Let's say we are now in a period of global cooling. And through further research we discover that this period of cooling is due to reduced solar activity and sunspot activity combined with a 30 year cool phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation? Now let's fast forward to 2020 where global temperatures are slowly going down and are predicted to continue a downward cooling trend until at least 2050. This is going to cause great hardship on mankind, much more than any warming would have. So now here we are in 2020 and we look back at 2009 and try to figure out why you thought you had to reduce CO2 or whatever else man was doing in the belief that man was doing most of the warming the planet when all along mother nature had control of (most of) the climate just like always. Then you need to look at how you came to that wrong belief. This is where enslavement comes into play again. Enslavement is getting someone to follow a doctrine to the benefit of the person dictating the doctrine. This usually sounds sinister at first glance, but if you studied history at all you can find the road to hell littered with well meaning people and ideas. And just note, that one of the features of a doctrine of this nature is that is presented as good and right and even moral and any contrary opinion is something to be reviled. Also note that science does not work in that manner. In the end, I'm not saying this is true for you and climate change, but you'd be niave not to at least give it a little serious thought about if not for your current cause but how you choose to follow subsequent causes. Be independent, thoughtful, curious and objective.

Answer 3

Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect. Thick gases from factories, fossil fuels, vehicles, and CFCs layer the atmosphere and prevent infrared radiation from escaping back into space and cause it to remain within Earth's atmosphere. Plants absorb carbon dioxide to make food for themselves and release oxygen as a waste. The tropical rain forests have the most trees and plant life out of all other biomes. They are constantly being cleared for land and/or wood. If companies continue to clear-cut the rain forests, the number of trees will decrease. Thus, less trees will be able to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
We can help prevent global warming by eliminating the use of CFCs in everyday life, driving more fuel-efficient vehicles, and reducing the need to cut down trees. The factories can only be decided on by their companies. However, whether we realize it or not, we need the world more than the world will ever need us. If we do not use it correctly, the consequences could be unimaginable and there may not be a world.

Answer 4

Let me think...if we could cork one active volcano just for a one second, that would more than equal all man's collective, historical contribution to global warming. It might be easier to let it get warmer, then we would not use heating oil and gas -- that would effectively lower our output more than any other thing that we can do. There used to be a mile of ice where my home is now, in the middle of the United States, so personally I am thinking I don't want the ice back. I would much rather live in a subtropical climate.

Answer 5

Nothing. The cause of global warming is solar cycles. It has happened multiple times before. We did not cause it and we can not stop it. We are along for the ride. Brace for the wave of "green" taxes coming our way as the democrats plunder our money.

Answer 6

If certain people quit breathing there would be less CO2 emitted. Of course that wouldn't do squat for the environment but it would sure make the world a better place to live!

Answer 7

1. Never use plug in air fresheners. They are on 24/7.

2. Do not sit in drive thrus. Park and get in line.

3. Recycle.

More importantly, have fewer kids. Every person adds to the drain on the resources and the production of harmful wastes. Fewer people=less harm. It's that simple.

Answer 8

Share the idea with your friends of reducing the use of disposable stuffs.

Answer 9

Inconvenient Truth....global warming does not exist.

Answer 10

stop complaining about it..."you'll be exhaling carbon dioxide causing the earth to warm even more" it's -10 degrees farenheit in the northern US...mmhmm, that sounds like global warming to me.
