Answer 2

Global warming is nothing to worry about for now the immediate problem is the the disappearing Honey bees.

Answer 4

farting is not the worst part about beef production

sometimes more than one hectare is needed to support one cow ,

One hectare can produce enough vegetables to supply ba whole village

and the cows overgraze and their flat feet compacts the ground ,raising the salt to the surface

often the land ,ends up as dessert  

and to look after cows is expensive mwith suplementation and vetaranary costs

far better to intensely farm deer ,who do not affect their suroundings negatively ,and who can live with the trees

in South Africa they exchanged grasslands which where absolutely loaded with all kinds of Game ,that existed in a sustainable and autosuficient way ,with out supervision or extra care ,for ---cattle that destroyed the grasslands

Man cannot become more stupid than that

here are some ways we can help the Environment.

global warming cannot be stopped but we can stop helping it becoming faster,and being friendlier to out Environment cannot be bad

if you do any cleaning up leave signs behind saying who cleaned,why and ask people not to start dumping rubbish again ,leave a hole or bins ,in case people come with trash ,

we have done a lot of comunity cleaning and if you dont leave alternatives or try to work on peoples guilt feelings (some people actually have those ,but not many)

than your efforts are a waste of time.

POSITIVE ACTIONS

if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to slowdown the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness

education on family planning to curb over´population

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use

here are a 100 more ways

Farting is a big problem. A vegan with a big 'Yank tank' V8 releases gasses that have the same effect as a meat eater without a car! The there is the gas that the animal that you are eating released.

The answer to all of humanities problems......

Become vegan!

Answer 6

I still tend to go with the majority of experts that global warming is not happening,the earth has always gone through these hot and cold cycles since time began.We have loads of cows on the farm here and its always blooming raining.
