Shreeta,
The exact cause of global warming is still debatable. I have read the New World Order report on global warming and those that wrote that much celebrated report seem to get lots of exercise reaching for conclusions without substantiation, and jumping on the bandwagon where no data exists.
Mankind does put around 12billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere (it is all reported as CO2 in the report, but its just not true). And it is true that this does contribute to the greenhouse gasses and as such does contribute to global warming. Does it cause it all on its own? Absolutely NOT! Is this only a minor contribution? YES! BUT it IS a contribution and as suck, it DOES help speed us along in the global warming scheme of things....is it reversible? YES (but only our contributory portion!)!!
What we can do is make millions of solar cells and put enough on each roof around the world to provide (at a minimum) 95% of that household's energy requirement. Then stop using natural gas and switch over to all electric appliances. Foster the use of electric or fuel cell cars and trucks, ban the use of charcoal bar-b-ques and wood burning fireplaces, and we'll have probably dropped worldwide CO2 production by 65%.
Is that enough to turn back the tied? Who knows? Will it prolong the onset? YES it will...how long? Again....No one knows.
Cheers.

It has long been stated that what caused the ice age was volcanic smoke in the air which filtered out the sun light and made things cooler. So alongs comes The E P A and puts in a no burn ban and takes out what smoke that there was in the air letting in more sun light which is making things hotter and letting in more cancer rays, and to compound the problem the things which should have been burned is now rotting and giving off methane gas which causes more global warming. So all we need to do is go back to burning our leaves and trash to stop global warming. Note signs of global warming started with the burn ban.

Well I think that is a lie . I just saw that the seal hunters about 40 ships have been trapped in the ice and some are in danger of being crushed. It didn't look like anything was melting.

every physique who knows something approximately climatology and climate historic previous knows that the earth is actual IN between significant ice a while, what's named an interglacial. this is cyclical. we are at present experiencing the tail-end of the final ice age era, time-venerated as a results of fact the Holocene. The earth is meant to be getting warmer. If it have been to fail in doing so, THEN we would desire to constantly panic.

Polution causes global warming. Over developing & putting fumes in the air from gasoline

they are getting colder, thicker, and moving slower. when they move slower thecan't replenish the ice out on the skirt so the apron breaks up and melts
