is there a solution to global warming?

Question

i mean ice is melting in the north pole 4 cying out loud

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

There is no "One" total Solution to Global Warming. There are, however, many partial solutions. One that I find to be most interesting is the conversion of Liquid Gasoline into a Propane Like Vaporized Fuel.All of the "Experts" tell Me that it can't be done.However, My Avatar is a Photo of just such a Device that I have Constructed, doing just that.In Fact, it's Lit on Fire to Prove that it really Works! notice the Color Spread of the Flame.Blue to Yellow to Orange, just like Butane, which Burns much Cooler than Propane. This produces 100 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel.This has the Potential to enable even the Largest SUV to get 50 + MPG, & Emit 10 Times less Pollution than a Conventional Fuel to Engine Delivery System, which is 14.7 Parts of Air, to 1 Part of Fuel. The Problem is that all Gasoline Powered Vehicles in the USA from '96 to the Present, are required by the EPA-OBD II Law to Run at 14.7 to 1. Any Deviation from that Government Mandated Parameter, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and, more Importantly, Emissions are Lowered, will result in a Failed Vehicle Inspection. Here's why.Since the Vehicle's Oxygen Sensor will, on a Vapor Fuel System, that is not Gov't Approved, Register that there is no Pollution present in the Exhaust. this will send a "Fault Code" to the Vehicle's Computer, which will send the same Signal to the Inspection Diagnostic Analyzer, indicating that the Oxygen Sensor is not Functioning properly. The Vehicle will then Fail Inspection for not Emitting enough Pollution ! This is Insane ! Only if there is an Exemption for an Alternative Fuel, such as Propane, or Alcohol, is the Oxygen Sensor Rule not enforced. This must Change! I'm not the First to Figure this out ! Far from it ! Want Proof ? Go to http://energy21.freeservers.com/bookrep.html and at least Read the First Page, then look at My 360 Page , and Read the ' Blog. Engines Run best on Vapor, not Liquid Fuel, but The Law Dictates Otherwise !

Answer 3

It depends what the cause is.

There is good evidence that the main cause is solar activity, about which we can do little.

However, if it is due to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions then the answer is still probably "no". On current expectations, we would have to achieve an average reduction of 72% in use of energy etc by every inhabitant of earth assuming no population increase.

In fact the population is set to increase by about 50% by 2050.

Whats more this does not take account of the fact that most emissions are produced by a tiny proportion of the population - namely North Americans and to a lesser extent Northern Europeans.

If the rest of the world is to be allowed its share in the benefits of technology, to achieve the reductions being called for in CO2 North Americans would have to cut consumption by well over 90%.

This seems very, very unlikely.

Answer 4

A serious answer: hydrogen fuel cells, b/c they would produce water as a by-product, not carbon. They are not unrealistic, and can revolutionize transportation b/c hydrogen-powered vehicles get more mileage per gallon of gas than liquid. The problem is that 1) we can't find enough usable H2 out there, and 2) you would need to refill every 100 miles, b/c gas takes up lots of volume (unless you're willing to drive a blimp-like car :)
Scientists are now working on the solution to the first problem by recruiting blue or green algae, which produce H naturally in their life cycle.
If you've read the report this year that came out on global warming, you should realize that it's going to be hard to stop ocean levels from rising even if every country quit cold-turkey on any technology. It's going to take hundreds of years for the earth to return to its cool condition even if we all just stopped producing carbon dioxide right now. And we're not even stopping now. The safest bet seems to be to build a massive generator (actually feasible) that sucks up the CO2 and freezes it and then stores it underground (solid CO2 has less volume than CO2 gas). However, this would take a lot of effort and change the urban landscape drastically (they would have to be HUGE), so again it's unrealistic and not practical.

Answer 5

There are many "solutions" to dealing with global warming. Unfortunately, greed and man's pursuit of "comfort and ease" are getting in the way of doing the right thing.

I recommend that you watch the DVD "An Inconvenient Truth." You can rent it at Blockbuster. It is all about global warming, the causes and effects, and what we, everyone, can do to turn things around.

The title of this DVD is very appropriate. An inconvenient truth is a truth that people do not want to hear because it is "inconvenient". To admit that what we do, and what we want, is damaging the only place we live, we have to admit that we need to make personal sacrifices. Humans are spoiled. They like their cars, their air conditioners, their IPods, etc. They don't want to give these things up. But . . . which would you rather have: a car or a world that you can live on? Inconvenient, huh?!

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

We can't totally stop it. We can reduce its' effects to where we can cope with them. By:

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

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

Develop techniques to capture (sequester) carbon.

It's not the sun. That's just a weird theory that is wrong according to the scientific data. Increased solar radiation has been carefully measured by many people. It's 0,12 watts per meter squared. Man caused warming is 1.6 watts per meter squared. Page 4 of this report.

It's not volcanoes. Another weird theory that the data shows is false.
