What can we do to slow down the effects of Global Warming?

Answer 1

Here's a nice little list of things we can do right now to curb carbon emissions and (hopefully) slow global warming ---

- If electricity use is cut by making more efficient appliances and gadgets it will cut the burning of coal for electricity generation.
- Higher mileage cars and trucks would put a huge dent in the amount of gasoline burned.
- Higher efficiency work vehicles would further cut back the need for burning petroleum based fuels.
- Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is a new technology that will hopefully allow humans to actually remove excess CO2 from the atmosphere, aiding the oceans and plants in ridding the air of CO2.
- The use of clean and renewable energy such as solar and wind power could easily replace the burning of coal as the primary means of electricity generation. This would remove a huge contributor to global carbon emissions.

With all these changes it would be possible to lower CO2 emissions to 1970 levels within a decade. This would be a huge step forward in stoping the global warming trend.

Answer 2

Since over half of all green house gasses are created durring power generation, nuclear power would have a big impact on warming.

Answer 3

Reforest the rain forest and cloud forest and other areas. Tree convert CO2 to Oxygen--Presto the high CO2 diminishes.

Answer 4

Nothing of consequence that anyone could afford to pay for. The UN has proposed a program to deal with it; the 50-year cost is pegged at $557,000,000,000,000 -- far more money than the total value of every asset on the planet.

Answer 5

1)Destroy ALL fossil-fuel vehicles
2)Destroy ALL power-generation plants
3)Shut down ALL modern manufacturing systems
4)Walk or ride a horse everywhere

In other words, return to the Dark Ages..!
