What are some ways we can stop global warming?

Question

Our ice caps are melting, and all of the heat is going to the ocean which warms the earth.

What are some things you'd sacrifice to save our world?

Answer 1

1. stop the use of CFCs it reacts and destroy ozone commonly found in deodrants, refrigator,foam shaving cream it is banned in USA but still used in some other countries, known as freons.

2.because of green house gases like carbon-dioxide,oxides of sulphur,nitrogen comes from factories we cant banned them.

3.bann fireworks

4. use cars of honda (eco-freindly)

5.ozone hole can be replenished in springs

Answer 2

A generalized and global use of nuclear power stations could be the beginning of the solution, but it has negative effects also, such as the problem of radiactive remnants.
We shold cease to burn fosils combustibles, such as the ones derived from oil and gas sources. But it will be very difficult to take on, for nobody will renounce to motorized displacements.
Growing of green plants will also help, for they convert CO2 to oxigen again.
But the situation, according to experts, is pessimistic.

Answer 3

What causes Global warming is still just a theory yet no one knows. One volcano eruption puts out more cfc than man has ever manufactured. The hole in the ozone has been there forever.

Answer 4

A big, gas guzzling car; long, hot showers, refrigerated airconditioning, incandescent light bulbs, heating the whole house in winter.

Answer 5

i sacrifice my time by instructing school children and students about the Environment ,and i make demonstrative gardens,also talk on some courses, to farmers about reforestation,organic farming ,water harvesting,and the evils of fertilizers and Permaculture
and i give this message to any one who asks about global warming

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification


in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,
deforestation causing desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .
and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result
(are you seeing more Chinese around interested in agricultural lands ,we do here in Mexico)

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

as far as the food production is concerned, Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

SOLUTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use
