Answer 1

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.

well for one, American car manufacturers can start making cars that compete with Chinese car on gas mileage and reduction of emissions.
people keep saying reducing emssions will hurt the economy, but China has done it, and you see Ford, Chrysler, GM (all American car manufacturers) are laying off workers while Chinese car manufacturers are building more plants right?
That tranlates to being competitive, exactly the oposite of what people suggest as having to become a socialist state.
I don't think those people really know what a socialist means.

we are already starting to experience the new jobs that are being created by fields that deals with the factors that cause global warming. one such field are in microbiology that creates ethanol and other bio-fuels.
many of the industrially useful chemicals these days can be created by microbes much more efficiently that by chemical production, and you don't have to become a socialist state for that.

as of, for you personally, just do things that will lower your energy bill at home.
turning off lights when not using them
don't sit in the shower for an hour
don't crank the heat up on 80
insulate well before you have to use heater and air conditioner
don't leave car running while you run into the grocery store
when you buy a new car buy one with better gas mileage, if you don't need the gas guzzling V8.

nothing that suggests socialism.
