Global Warming is something which cannot be resolved even if we take up any solutions right now too. According to data, even if the world has banned use of CFC's, its gonna take another 80 years to minimize the damage to the ozone layer. Anyways. Here are some of the solutions.
1) Think of alternative fuel sources which might minimize the use of fossil fuels.
2)Afforestation
3)Conservation of the Evergreen, and every other types of forests that are right now present on the Earth
4) Restriction of Industrial Developement through sustainable management and utilization of resources, which would lead to lesser loss of harmful chemicals in the environment. eg. Bhopal Gas tragedy, chernobyl disaster etc.
5)Researching newer arenas of oxygen generation (Natural) so that apart from what is released, more oxygen is sent in the atmosphere, accelerating the closing of the Ozone.
6) Taking necessary precautions on the Gas Pumps, where, unused petrol, diesel or gasoline can easily evaporate and cause heavy damage when it reaches the atmosphere.

there are many more. The arenas endless. So all the best for your search. Bye.

You will need to seal up all the volcanoes on earth. Plus we need to organize a coalition to send astronauts to the sun in order to repair all those damn solar flares (I nominate you to captain the mission), they are causing way too much volatility in our climate. While your at it, design huge turbines to control the direction and speed of oceanic currents. Speaking of which, we need to push the moon a little further away, because the storms are just way too violent with such an increase in ocean-side population. Everyone else can blame Bush for Katrina, I blame the moon! I suggest we try to talk the moon into backing off with diplomatic persuasion (though I am not ruling out the use of tactical nukes, as a last resort). Oh, and do NOT forget to tell the Earth to slow it's internal production of heat; that is getting really REALLY annoying.

One last thing, please do your part to reduce your CO2 production by immediately ceasing all expulsion of gas from your rectum. If you don't, you are a Nazi and directly responsible for the Tsunami.

If you meant what can you do to help - here are some of the things I do:

-Use compact florescent in as many light fixtures as you can.

-Use canvas bags instead of paper or plastic when you go shopping. I use a lerge tote bag to go clothes shopping :o) and refuse the plastice bags. Bags take up so much space in our landfills and don't even breakdown in our lifetime.

-Keep packaging in mind when you buy. Check for packaging that you can recycle, and try not to buy things you have to landfill.

-Buy produce and meat locally. It saves a ton of energy that's used by factories. Cutting out the factory is always better for the environment. It also supports your local farmers and community. I buy organic. It costs a little bit more but it's worth it. Healthwise also.

-Cut back some driving . . .as much as possible. Combine trips, walk or bike ride when you can. Consider instituting a "No-Drive Day" once a week.

-Don't forget to recycle

Check out Bob's article:


"But such a scenario also requires a global pollution tax per ton of CO2. "If one ton of greenhouse gas would cost between $20 and $50 (€15 and $37), many investments (in low-emission technologies) would already become attractive," says Bert Metz, a member of the climate panel."

Just taxing annual CO2 from fossil-fuel combustion that is as much as $2.6 TRILLION PER YEAR. But that's at the $50 rate. It's a mere $1 TRILLION PER YEAR if you get the super-saver $20 rate! What a bargain!

Sounds like a solution to me...

There are none. If you stopped all greenhouse gases every where tomorrow, nothing would happen. At least for decades. About all we can do is clean the air, not many would disagree in doing this. Nature started this and we will have to wait until she ends it. Peace :)
