any one have ideas on stoping global warming?

Question

i wana know what people think about global warming and how hard and what they think a way of stopping it

Answer 1

It cannot be stopped but the process can be slowed down.
We have to find ways to reduce our energy use.
I'm recycling more. I'm working hard to drive less. I drive a fuel efficient vehicle. I have a shorter commute. I try to keep current on things I can do to reduce waste and energy use.

Answer 2

I agree with the poster who said that carbon emissions would have to be reduced to around 1-10% of their current level. He seemed to think that won't happen, I think it will. The question is will everybody have to die to get them that low? I hope not. We have an opportunity to guide the situation if the delay ends. I don't agree. I do agree with those who have said that the large human population is part of the cause. We can't support that many people on that kind of energy budget. We'd have had to start preparing 50 years ago to be positioned to do that. Unfortunately, people back then thought they had hundreds of years to prepare, probably thinking that we would be reducing carbon emissions rather than increasing them.

I don't think genocide is the answer. We aren't God, and anyone who claims to be wise enough to make those kinds of decisions should not be allowed to make them. Somebody mentioned "The Population Bomb" a day or two ago. What a blast from the past! That book was published when I was in high school. I'd forgotten all about it, but it has most of this right, the timeline is just off like all the other predictions. The key thing is that you have to add algebraically the birth rate and the death rate. At the time of that book, somebody died about 11 seconds, somebody was born every 7 seconds, and the net increase in the population was some number in between. Then if you know the population you know the rate of increase. Our population is what, around six billion? Something like that? So people are being born and dying at a much higher rate than they were then.

Something I read last year applies to this also. .People produce a certain amount of goods and services from the earth every year-- INCLUDING FOOD. It's a finite number, limited by the finite decreasing resources and the open ended growth of the population. The amount of food and other goods and services produced in a year were no longer enough to provide for the existing population-- in 1978! The disparity has widened every year since. You can picture it as a calendar. Once the amount of food etc. produced in 12 months would feed the entire population for 12 months, with some left over. Now we have a shortfall. It's as if food production stopped short of December. That's been true for more than 20 years, and we're somewhere in October now. That's a significant change, because prior to it, all starvation was due to issues with the distribution and supply chain. Now much larger numbers of people will continue to starve regardless of what we do on those issues.

If we combine the carbon figures and the population figures it looks like we could have an industrial society with a population no greater than one 1/2 billion) maximum. That's probably where things will end up if we do nothing, AND some of us still manage to survive. It would be a few hundred million on each continent. If we work on both problems and succeed, that's probably the "easy" way to arrive at where we're going. If we don't, we'll still end up in the same place, just choosing what I would call the "hard" way. The advantage of choosing the "easy" way, is the chances of the human race surviving the adjustment are better.

Answer 3

There's any number of ideas for stopping global warming from changing lightbulbs to moving the planet into a different orbit - somewhat extreme but it has actually been proposed.

There's no doubt that we can slow down global warming and we already have. Every country that's reduced their emissions and each person who's recycled some glass jars has played their part.

Stopping global warming requires something on an altogether different scale - it's called climate engineering (or geoengineering). Apart from the extremes such as moving the planet, it's been approached in one of two ways. Either removing the excess greenhouse gases from the atmosphere or reducing the warming effect from the sun. Several schemes have been suggested for each approach and some of them are summarised on this BBC website http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/6298507.stm and these webpages http://www.chooseclimate.org/cleng/mf.html and http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/combat.html#4 There was a BBC documentary that's available on You Tube http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=286000425078890061

Answer 4

We should stop *subsidizing* the processes that have massively increased the production of greenhouse gases during the past century.

That's right, SUBSIDIES. We give huge amounts of money to oil producers, coal producers, and other industries in order to try to keep fossil fuel prices down. Let's end all energy subsidies and let the chips fall where they may. It will give a huge boost to conservation and alternative energies if people know that there's no safety net when prices spike higher.

When people are forced to pay market prices for their wastefulness, we will have a much different world.

Answer 5

i think only a small percentage of it comes from carbon dioxide emissions & the vast majority of it comes from the fact that there are so many humans on the planet all producing heat - ourselves, our cars, fires, central heating etc etc, & natural variants.
Just as a thought - the average temperature on Mars has gone up by half a degree since 1973 - exactly the same as this planet.
I watched 'The In convenient truth' & could tell that all of the facts had been dumbed down so started to look around. Look at this website for far more in depth scientific analysis of some of the facts that were softened up for that film.
http://www.john-daly.com/hockey/hockey.htm
Also - think about who is profiting from 'Global warming'. Yup - the government through taxes & fines on our cars & industry.
Now who funds the scientists who research global warming? Yup - the government.
Now if you or i were a scientist who was looking to prove that CO2 was only responsible for a tiny percentage of current warming do you think that the government would fund you when if your theory was proved right it would completely put their funding structure into dissarray? I think not! The scientific community is split about half & half as to whether human gas emissions are largely to blame for global warming. The thing is that the half that believe that they are only a minor factor cant get funding so we dont hear about their ideas!

Global warming is far from a proven science.

The one unarguable fact is that we are destroying this planet - getting through a limited supply of natural resources at an ever increasing rate. This is not sustainable & we have to look at ways to preserve resources & habitats. A consequence of this is that CO2 emissions will decrease, so if that is proven it will already be being tackled. We are attacking it from the wrong end.

Stan Meyer

Invented a device for extracting gas from water using very little power - far less than could be extracted from those gasses. His buggey could drive across America on 24 Gallons of WATER. That is tap water, sea wated, snowmelt, whatever.
This was a real invention.
http://waterpoweredcar.com/stanmeyer.html
News began to spread of his invention & got to the ears of a powerful oil Shieik who - if this invention got into peoples everyday cars - would lose his vast income. He offered Stan over $1billion for his invention. Over $1BILLION.
Stan turned the money down saying he wanted to share his invention with all people.
2 weeks later he was dead. Poisoned. His knowledge gone too.
Maybe we have lost the answer?

Answer 6

I hate global warming. It's effing up the climate and screwing up my seasons. It took away my white christmas and making my summer WAAAY too hot.

I don't think it's possible to STOP global warming but there are ways to reduce it and make it better.

If everyone in america turns off their taps while brushing their teeth, they could all save GALLONS and gallons of water! I dont' have the exact statistics but it's alot!

and if everyone in america switches off a light they don't use in the house, we have enough power to power a small city i believe! something like that. But i know it makes a huge difference.

also, people could take the transit to work or carpool to reduce emission and congestion on the streets. Riding the bike or roller blading to a close destination will help too.

If everyone makes one small change, the impact and the difference would be significant. People just don't realize it and so they don't bother to do it.

Answer 7

end waste, end polution, shop capacity, ok, yet climate? No. There are no experimental records to help the hypothesis that will develop in human hydrocarbon use or in atmospheric carbon dioxide and different greenhouse gases are inflicting or could properly be anticipated to reason unfavorable modifications in international temperatures, climate, or panorama. there is not any reason to cut back human manufacturing of CO2, CH4, and different minor greenhouse gases as has been proposed (eighty two,eighty 3,ninety seven,123). We additionally choose no longer subject approximately environmental calamities whether the present organic warming vogue keeps. The Earth has been plenty warmer throughout the previous 3,000 years without catastrophic outcomes. warmer climate extends starting to be seasons and frequently improves the habitability of chillier areas. As coal, oil, and organic gas are used to feed and raise from poverty vast numbers of people around the globe, extra CO2 would be embarked on the ambience. this could help to maintain and advance the wellbeing, toughness, prosperity, and productiveness of everyone. the united states and different countries could desire to supply extra capacity, no longer much less. the main sensible, fee-effective, and environmentally sound methods available are hydrocarbon and nuclear technologies. Human use of coal, oil, and organic gas has no longer harmfully warmed the Earth, and the extrapolation of cutting-edge developments shows that it's going to no longer accomplish that interior the foreseeable destiny. The CO2 produced does, although, advance up the upward push costs of flora and additionally facilitates flora to advance in drier areas. Animal existence, which relies upon on flora, additionally prospers, and the variety of plant and animal existence is extra advantageous. Human events are producing area of the upward push in CO2 interior the ambience. Mankind is moving the carbon in coal, oil, and organic gas from under floor to the ambience, the place it incredibly is available for conversion into dwelling issues. we reside in an increasingly extra lush atmosphere of flora and animals as a effect of this CO2 develop. our babies will as a result get exhilaration from an Earth with much extra plant and animal existence than that with which we now are blessed.

Answer 8

we cant stop global warming as it is on a masssive scale, but we can do different things to prolong its effects, These include

Not leaving gadets on standby, recycling as much material as possible and having a shower instead of a bath, of course there is a lot of things we can do,

Just the other day i discovered the act on c02 calculator that asks common questions about your home apppliances and travel, it then tells you how much co2 you produce and what you can do to prevent it.

Just type act on co2 calculator in google

Thanks
Ben

Answer 9

Try to stop nature. The climate will change despite Man, just as it has done many times in the past.

Now for those who are absolutely convinced they can stop GW by stopping all CO2 emissions. Stop breathing, you are emitting CO2.

Okay, now that they are gone the sensible people can prepare to deal with the effects of climate change.

Answer 10

i think the government should have done something about global warming i also think that the prime minister should stop taking long haul flights to america just to meet with president bush cause apparently the aeroplanes are one of the main causes in global warming.

Answer 11

It will never stop did you believe the millenium bug it didn't exist neither does global warming it's a scam.
