    Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

    We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

    Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

    One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

    Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

    Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

    1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

    2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

    It’s pretty easy to see the results..

    Melting ice sheets & glaciers

    Floods & droughts

    Great hurricanes & cyclones

    Seasonal extremes

    Seasonal phenomena’s

    Species extinction

    New & resurgent diseases

    There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

    I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

    If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

    Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

  2. Moderation of temperatures with most of the warming in colder places, (i.e night time winter, and upper latitude temperatures)

    Increased growing seasons;

    increased food production;

    Less water required for plants since greater CO2 in atmosphere.

    Fewer young children dying of starvation

    Fewer young animals dying from cold and starvation

    More plants and animals supported in most habitats.

    More beach days.

    Fewer cold related deaths including the decreased number of deaths in winter months from not being inside all the time. etc

  3. Well...

    When the Earth's temperature rises so does the sea or ocean temperature. The hotter the sea or ocean is the more likely you get hurricanes or tsunamis or cyclones etc. This is because they result from warmer water. The warmer the worse.

    Here are some otehr things that will happen:

    a) We will either inhale too much pollution and not get enough oxygen.

    b) It will get so hot taht our bodies won't be able to adjust to teh rapid temperature change.

    c) there will be moer water/ocean/sea related disasters will be more liekely because of warmer weather, that could detroy our homes

    etc. etc.

  4. Well, seeing as Mt St Helens spewed out more CO2 than all of the exhast pipes in the world collectively ten times over, nothing.

    But climate change is real, it's been happening for a long time.  That's how we've escaped the original Ice Age, and more recently the mini Ice Age that caused the potatoe blight in Europe.

    Long term consequences include flooding, 70 degree weather in December, and Al Gore thinking he actually did something of merit!
