Can we play a part to stop global warming?

Question

Yes,we can.Let us stop the ozone layer from getting smaller and do our best to stop global warming.It's simple.We just need to stop wasting natural resources such as trees.Recycle reusable stuffs such as papers,cans and etc.Pick up litters and dispose them properly.We have a part to play!!

Answer 1

You can buy a $50 tree from plant a tree foundation

Answer 2

I don't think that we can stop global warming, only slow it. It's be steadily gaining momentum over the last 20 years and now it seems unstoppable. Retrospect is a great thing when it comes to global warming, if the people in the know had of done something even just 10 years ago we would not be in the position we are in now. We as a race have already caused irreparable damage to the ozone layer and the environment, and now I think we have to live with that.

Answer 3

The Ozone layer is not getting smaller, I think there is a whole in it. Can we stop Global warming ? I don't know, But people should pollute less.

Answer 4

Sure we can. Start by saving all natural resources. Be it water, because power is required to pump it to our homes. Be it electricity, by switching off all electrical appliances when you don't use them. Use both sides of a sheet of paper.

Answer 5

youve done it,youve discovered the link between the past and the global warming hoopla...what you described is ecology,not a means to stop a global warming trend.Now that your armed with this information realize they are two different things,the things you described are good,they should be done,recycling and picking up after ourselves is noble,but to believe we can do anything to stop a natuaral global warming cycle and that we have that much impact on the earth is truly arrogant

Answer 6

There are already things that we can't help now. but we can try to save what we have left! recycle, plant trees, drive less, use as little energy as possible, buy energy efficiant appliances. the list goes on

Answer 7

The day we stop the oceans, the wind, the volcanoes, the earthquakes, and every other natural process. Only a fool thinks he can control nature...

Answer 8

Yes!
There are many little, painless ways. Use energy efficient light bulbs (which will save you money!)

Lots of good ways to help at:

Answer 9

We're still at the end of the last ice age...no matter WHAT we do, this ice age is going to end. That's what they do. Sure, I'll recycle and continue driving my Prius, but it isn't going to change a darn thing.

Answer 10

my contribution ,i send this all over the place
and talk to farmers about soil conservation and waterharvesting ,and to school kids about reforrestation and polution ,judging by yahoo answers what is needed most is education.

Is global warming a man-made menace?

not all there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

some home truths

politicians and scientists who work for politicians have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many people income,and most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.


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
