The changes that need to be made due to global warming?

Answer 1

Rely less on the burning of fossil fuels. Alternative energy. We need more nuclear, solar, wind and hydro-electric power.
We need cars that run on fuel cells.

Answer 2

here's a few of the changes that I've made to my lifestyle that I believe will help MY contribution to the problem. I humbly offer the following suggestions:

1. Eat organic / locally grown foods...stops the production of more harmful chemicals, cuts down on transport costs and it's better for you as well! Also, make sure that the eggs you buy aren't from a battery farm!

2.Try going vegetarian as well...cows and cow farming is a big environmental / ethical nasty. I read a report recently that suggests that cows farting accounts for 3 times the amount of emmissions that cars do!!!

3. Buy ethical and fair trade goods. This helps increase the poorer nations citizen's basic wealth which in turn helps them to achieve all these kinds of changes as well!

4. Try to break your addiction to your motor car. These beasts are one of the worst things for the environment that we've ever had the misfortune to deal with!!! Try using public transport or ride places you'd normally drive to.

5. Use low energy light bulbs in your home. Consider buying high efficiency appliances (fridges etc.). Use gas to cook toast and heat water - toasters and kettles are huge consumers of power!

6. When it gets cold, put another jumper / sweater and thermal leggings on instead of switching on your heater.

7. Turn your television off at the wall at night, rather than leaving it on standby. This simple procedure can stop about 40kg. of CO2 getting into the atmosphere every year.

8. Consider buying "green" power from your energy supplier. It's not really "green" per se, but the premium you pay is used to subsidise people who are building sustainable homes and installing solar or wind generation equipment. The power so created is fed back into the main grid.

9. Go see your local politicians and question them about what they're doing in parliament to affect change. Tell them that you're worried and that their answers will shape how you vote in the next election. It's a long shot, but if you live in a country with a parliamentary system, it can be a grand way to get change happening. Look at the Green Party and the amount of effect they've had across the globe since their inception in the mid-eighties. It might not appear much, but at least we do have a choice these days! "Never underestimate the power of the individual".

10. Finally, do an "Ecological Footprint" Test...it will show you how much you consume, based on your own lifestyle and residence...it's pretty scary, but very worthwhile.


Hope this helps!

Love and Light,

Answer 3

If all humans and their machines ceased to exist this minute global warming would continue. Natural climate cycles have been going on forever and we're not going to stop it. Not to worry, the planet will cool off and eventually there'll be another ice age.

Answer 4

We have to cut down our carbon use, and we can do this by

1.Set your thermostat to 2 degrees F. in the winter, Annual Savings:135$ and 1400 pounds of carbon

2. Replace old refridgerator with new Energy Star refriderator, Annual Savings: $90 and 700 pounds of carbon

3. Wash clothes in cold water only, Annual Savings:60$ and 500 pounds of carbon

Thats only some of the ways

Answer 5

When a windmill (built for electricity generation) turns for 24 hours it gathers up enough electricity to power a home for 1 year.

Answer 6

Get out of the UN, muzzle Al Gore, and abolish public schools which apparently disable its student's ability to think critically to the extent that they actually can be convinced of such nonsense.

Answer 7

Plan how to live in a warmer environment as you approach age 200, 300. Change socks and underwear daily.

Answer 8

Three things.

Conserve energy. Doesn't mean not doing things, means doing them more efficiently.

Develop alternative energy sources; nuclear, solar, wind, biofuels, clean coal.

Develop ways to capture (sequester) carbon dioxide.

Answer 9

Reduce greenhouse gasses, also what we all can do is i heard that if everyone on the planet buys one fluorescent light-bulb for their house its like taking 1,000,000 i million cars off the road so we should do our part and get those bulbs
