any good ideas or measures on global warming?

Answer 1

get a clue.... there is no global warming. if al gore was so concerned about global warming like he says he is, he wouldnt consume 20x the power than the rest of us and drive big gas guzzlers, and travel by his private jet.... think!!!!

Answer 2

Switch to nuclear power.

That'll get rid of the single biggest cause of global warming (namely fossil fuel burning for electricity generation) without impacting on our quality of life (i.e. you'll still be able to turn the air conditioner on).

Then we'll need to work on transportation fuels which are going to be a lot harder to solve.

Coal to liquid would allow the replacement of oil but it still wouldn't solve the global warming problem, biofuels might have a role to play but increasing production too much (say enough for a large country to rely on as primary transportation fuel) may result in starvation (already US ethanol production from corn has caused increases in the price of corn). We shouldn't be burning food to power our cars when we can be eating it.

Trains can be electrified and large ships could be run on nuclear power while cars, trucks and planes may need to use synthetic fuels like hydrogen or just a synthetic hydrocarbon (artificial oil actually isn't such a bad idea, we could make it very clean burning and a form of diesel would be a lot easier to handle than hydrogen).

Of course those fuels will need energy to make but a clean source of energy like nuclear power or whatever else we end up having would not make that a problem.

Doing all that should be enough to solve the problem.

Alternatively we could build a giant sunshade between the Earth and the Sun to block some of the sunlight (or release aerosols into the atmosphere to do the same thing but cheaper and with more side effects).

Answer 3

Unlike what Go Blue says, hypocrisy is not necessarily an indicator of a false message. It is merely an indicator of laziness and/or being a jerk. Neither of those contradict global warming.

But in regards to your question, I would suggest that we do a controlled experiment to see just what the effects of carbon dioxide are on the inside of several large containers with stuff in them to simulate different situations. This, along with statistical research on carbon dioxide emmissions from the Industrial Revolution onward, will prove once and for all who's right.
