The Global Warming solution....?

Question

I see many people arguing over whether its real or whether it isnt... whether its man caused or whether it isnt.....
The truth is somewhere in the middle I would imagine...

Here is the thing though... lets just assume its man caused.... what is the plan to fix it... if we can't fix it then to hell with it enjoy your life.

I see these links and statements from scientists... But as someone in another link said.. even if we completely quit putting out any greenhouse gasses... the lingering effects will continue for like 500 years.

Now you know we cant completely stop any greenhouse gas emissions.

PLUS look at the top 25 polluted cities... look at the pollution hotspots in the world None of them are in the USA or Europe.
China and Russia are doing the vast majority of the polluting.
So what ya gonna do? doesnt matter if people in europe or the USA or whatever become more conservationist. It wont fix it.

Oh another thing... how many countries that signed on to Kyoto kept within their pollution limits?

Don't think from what im saying im not for common sense things like alternative energies.. Im completley for that. I just see never ending arguments about global warming. And to the person who the USA so you have heard emits more greenhouse gasses than any other country. Where is the proof of that one?

Answer 1

Ahhh kill money!
Money is green but, it makes the world not.

Answer 2

When speaking about top 25 polluted cities, I don't think that they meant output of Green house gases, but rather local effects as particles that is dangerous to bread in.
US emits more greenhouse gases per person than any other country in the world (or so I've heard).
I actually think that the EU has kept to the Kyoto protocol.
I know of a project for power plants with fossil fuel, that collect the CO2 gas and returns it deep into the Earth's crust, so it doesn't create green house effect. Perhaps this is a part of the solution. Of course it is more expensive than to just release the gases into the air.

edit:
I've read in several places that US is the worst polluter, but I guess that it's not entirely true.

Answer 3

The incredible thing about your question (or rant?) is that you are completely right. I just posted the thing about global warming effects happening for at least 500 years (David Suzuki said that) - he also said we are basically now in a big science experiment and all we can do is watch what happens.

Just keep in mind that everything we can do to help the situation is going to make it easier in the future, so ending pollutions and cutting vehicle emissions is still really important - but overall we might as well crack open a cold one and sit on the porch and watch the world burn...

Answer 4

Interesting thoughts.

It makes me wonder...what is a worse thing to do? Continue allowing the "pollution hotspots" to exist, or nuke them to the ground.

I know that sounds like a ridiculous solution, but think about it...what is the alternative? Isn't it like the old saying, "you can't make an omlette without breaking some eggs"??
