Does anyone know barriers/problems that affect global warming?

Question

I'm doing a project so if you know, thanks for the help!!!

Answer 1

There are no barriers to global warming. Any warming on Earth is caused by the Sun. There is also warming on other planets as well.

Please refer to the link.

Answer 2

I think indifference, ignorance and misinformation are the major hurdles with wasteful and excessive energy consuming habits and excessive selfishness on the part of individuals being the highest hurdle that have brought on and will aggravate the problem of global warming.

As long as so many just think global warming is a joke or think
it is a minor problem that will just blow over, we run the risk of procrastinating and making the problem worse, and then we will have to face even worse problems like ocean and land food web disruptions, massive species extinctions, unique and valuable habitat extinctions , water-cycle disruptions and possible food shortages. You should makes these points in your project for extra credit.

Answer 3

Since u r doing a project, take the case of burning bulbs and follow what is written below and you may come up with a good project. This is a real solution for avoiding part of pumping CO2 which results in global warming:
U-SEE - We must save the world from over-exploitation of natural resources
Knowingly or unknowingly we are all partners in misusing of costly electricity for our lighting purpose during day time when the solar light is available just outside our windows. Why can't bring home the sunshine?
Yes. This has been successfully adopted by a number of people in Bangalore, India. This innovative but simple method of bringing home the sunshine was suggested to the World Bank as a Grassroots Initiative for Preservation of Natural Resourcs during IDM-2007 competition - Project U-SEE (Unlimited Savings of Electrical Energy). U-SEE does not involve any nano technology nor does it requires billions of dollars for implementation. Moreover, U-SEE you get free lighting for life. No charges.
The World Bank honored this initiative and has created a permanent blog on the World Bank URL at http://dmblog.worldbank.org/mirrors-can-bring-light-rural-homes.
How is it implemented? U need a house hold mirror of 12"X18" and a pillow. Identify where u can get maximum sunshine just outside the windows with clear glass or on the balcony, keep the pillow on a stool or chair and place the mirror on the pillow, go on nudging the mirror till the solar light is deflected from the mirror, through the window and on to the white ceiling inside your home. U will be surprised to find the light spreading from the ceiling - it can be 40 to 60 watts (see the picture above - notice tube light and table lamp in the corner are not burning but there is enough light). If u can keep a bigger mirror, u will get more bright light. U can control the light just by covering a portion of the mirror.
Earth moves on its latitude. When u find that the deflected solar light is moving elsewhere, just go to the mirror, nudge a little and u can get back your light as before. THIS IS THE BASIC IDEA and once u have done it, u be the Innovator of your light requirements for your home and U-SEE PROVIDES YOU FREE LIGHTING FOR LIFE. Many homes/huts in rural areas in developing countries do not have proper lighting and people are living in dark, damp and dingy environs but urbanites living in concrete jungles in cities with tinted glasses are misusing electricity for their lighting purpose even during day time.
U-SEE the Benefits: ONE incandescent bulb/tubelight burning for 6 hours during day time consumes 7 units of electricity in a month. If half the world can adopt U-SEE and switch off one bulb for 6 hours during day time, how much of electricity can be saved? Your guess is as good as mine + saves cost of fossil fuels, coal, water+saves cost incurred for machineries and equipments+saves overhead charges+saves transmission loss charges+saves the world from global warming (burning bulbs/CO2 etc) with n'th value+ U GET FREE LIGHTING FOR LIFE with n'th value. The savings that accrue can off set the load on our productive requirements like A/c, refrigerators, mixies, fans etc.
Solar light will be available at least for about 200 days in a year and it is infinite and why should we let it go waste? We are not harnessing this infinite energy. U-SEE is ssoo simple.
First adopt this method, innovate solutions if u face small problems. U be the winner. U-SEE It is a win win situation for all of us. Need clarifications, mail: [e-mail] U-SEE - The author's ambition is to spread this friendly initiative to one and all. No charges!!

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE GOVERNMENT DROPPED A NUCLEAR BOMB INTO THE PACIFIC OCEAN!(PM MAGAZINE SHOW) NOW I DON'T KNOW THE AMOUNT OF THAT CRAP THAT WAS DROPPED INTO THE OCEAN. DID THEY EVEN THINK WHAT KIND OF EFFECT THAT THIS WOULD HAVE ON OUR ICE! DID NOT THEY THINK OF THE EFFECT THAT THIS CRAP STAYS IN THE AIR AND IS RECYCLED THROUGH OUR RAIN? WHAT WAS OUR GOVERNMENT THINKING? NOW LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN CANCER SINCE THIS DROPPING OF ALL NUCLEAR BOMBS! NOW LOOK THE ICE IS MELTING ALONG WITH OUR GLACIERS!

Answer 5

Here's a fact that people over look for global warming.... CO2 LEVELS RISE AFTER THE TEMPERATURE RISES NOT BEFORE!!!!!

Answer 6

No all the worlds scientists agree that it is unstopable
