how to stop global warming ?

Question

Dearest every one i am interested in social service i am going to register an organization and i am going to work for people to stop global warming prevent AIDS and stop global terrorism i need some support to start my service if you are intrested in this subject kindly asking you to inform me how can i start this and later how can i join with unicef or any other international organziation ? how can i get some funds for begining ? hope to get reply from you all thanks a lot
sinerly yours michael?

Answer 1

If you think you can stop the aliens from completing their "Secret Global Warming Plan", you are sorely wrong.

Answer 2

I don't know enough about UNICEF and that stuff to advise you. You're targeting the 3 biggest concerns of this century, you know?

As far as Global Warming, I can advise you. You must know the problem in order to do anything good with it. With physical science it's not hard to make something worse by an ill advised attempt to help. Global warming is simple 3rd grade science that's easy to understand. This is stuff that's been in science texts since the 1800's. The other part is a mountain of data that at this point is probably larger than mount Everest.. This comes in from meteorologists, geologists, paleontologists, marine biologists, astronomers, pretty much the full range of science, all reaching the same conclusion. Of course you also want to avoid the 26 most common myths, or urban legends associated with the topic. They're like chain letters, they'll be out there forever.

Let me give you a link to the myths, and I'll post a summary of GW here
All light, including sunlight, has a frequency. The frequency is higher if the light has a lot of energy, and lower if it has less. Light at different frequencies makes up the visible and the invisible spectrum. The red end is the low energy end, the violet is the high end. These extend very far in both directions, especially in the case of sunlight.

Light, when it passes through matter loses some or all of it's energy. If the matter is a brick wall, or a sheet of metal, it loses all it's energy, and we call the matter "opaque".

In other cases, like air, water or glass, it loses only part of it's energy. It's frequency (or color) shifts toward the red, or lower energy portion of the spectrum (the "red" end). That's the matter we call "transparent", or "translucent".

In many cases, light that has enough energy to pass through that type of matter loses enough energy that it can't pass through a second time. An example would be a car parked in direct sunlight. The sunlight gets in, but loses enough energy that most of it can't get back out. It just bounces around inside, giving up it's energy as it does. The inside of the car will be hotter than it's surroundings.

Another example is a greenhouse in wintertime. Sunlight enters, loses energy, and is trapped inside. The interior of the greenhouse stays warm enough to grow plants, even when the temperature is below freezing. Today we use grow lights and electricity, but these were the standard a hundred years ago.

The earths atmosphere robs sunlight of some of it's energy as it passes through. It is just enough that very little is reflected back into space. That keeps us from frying, and also keeps us warm. As long as the composition of the atmosphere stays the same, so does the climate.

Since industrialization, humans have added tons of Carbon Dioxide to the atmosphere. At this point it amounts to a layer 300 meters deep, covering the entire surface of the earth. CO2 is heavier than most gases, so it stays near the ground. The thickness of the layer will continue to increase as long as we continue to add CO2.

CO2 has one other important property. Every element or compound absorbs energy at any frequency, but emits only on one frequency that is specific to that particular element or compound. (that's the principle behind lasers) In the case of CO2, the frequency is smack in the middle of the infrared, or heat portion of the spectrum. That's why CO2 is a favorite choice for laser makers who specialize in cutting lasers, such as surgeons use. This causes CO2 to play a larger role than some other greenhouse gases like water or methane.

Answer 3

I too applaud what you're doing but for a single person or even a sizeable organisation to tackle just one of those issues would be a massive undertaking.

There are many organisations that are already attempting to address the issues you mentioned and it may be more productive to join forces with them rather than to work alongside them. Two organisations with one objective means a division of funds, resources and brainpower.

If you're looking at establishing a new organisation then really it should have it's own unique approach in order to avoid duplication. For the time being my suggestion would be to work with established organisations. In doing so you can find out a great deal of useful information and can formulate your own ideas that you can pursue independently at a later date but at the same time co-ordinate it with the work of others.

Answer 4

You will fail if you don't focus better. You can't just say you are going to solve all the world's problems. All you will end up doing is wasting time wondering what to do. Pick one, like AIDS, and work only on that. AIDS is the easy one; just don't have sex with infected people. Those others are all but impossible problems to solve.

Answer 5

Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.

Global average air temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the twentieth century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations,"[1] which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes have probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950, but a small cooling effect since 1950.[2][3] These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries. The American Association of Petroleum Geologists is the only scientific society that officially rejects these conclusions[4][5] (although it acknowledges that its skeptical viewpoint "is not supported by a significant number of our members and prospective members")[6]. A few individual scientists disagree with some of the main conclusions of the IPCC.[7]

Climate models referenced by the IPCC project that global surface temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100.[1] The range of values reflects the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions and results of models with differences in climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a millennium even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized.[1] This reflects the large heat capacity of the oceans.

An increase in global temperatures is expected to cause other changes, including sea level rise, increased intensity of extreme weather events, and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation possibly resulting in more frequent floods and drought. Other effects include changes in agricultural yields, glacier retreat, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.

Remaining scientific uncertainties include the exact degree of climate change expected in the future, and how changes will vary from region to region around the globe. There is ongoing political and public debate on a world scale regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

There's no way to stop it, you can slow it down though

Answer 6

Well, sorry, but merely joining organizations won't solve anything. Have you noticed that there is no apparent alternative to fossil-fuel energy? (Corn-based fuels also produce carbon.)

So, unless we all STOP burning, running to and fro to meetings will just use up more energy, probably use up more oil, too.

The GOOD NEWS is that there is an alternative to oil-as-fuel.

Now, how many of you are willing to make a similar vehicle to that electric pickup truck that costs 30 cents a day to operate?

The ball, as they say, is in your court. The "ball" is our planet.

Answer 7

Look, global warming is just lies the government feeds your mind because they're just a bunch of pathetic losers like the she devil herself, Hillary Clinton. Plus, this year is an el ninio year, a year every four years when it warms up. Don't worry, next year it'll be global cooling!

Answer 9

I applaud what you're trying to do but I think you would do better if you started off by joining any already existing organization that supports your concerns. I don't know where you live but here's one example for you:

Answer 10

Finallly someone to solve all our problems . try joining other groups interested in the same thing as you. then do charity drives like carwashes and stuff try to get sponsors it could only help the cause. GOOD LUCK
