There are many things you can do today to reduce your own adding to on this problem!

Tropical Tree Growth Slowed

Other big changes are being monitored in the tropics, too. Data on tree growth, tropical air temperatures and CO2 readings collected over 16 years indicate that a warming climate may cause the tropical forests to give off more carbon dioxide than they take up. This would upset the common belief that tropical forests are always a counterbalance to carbon, taking huge amounts out of the atmosphere. The study, by Deborah and David Clark of the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica, and Charles Keeling and Stephen Piper of the Scripps Institution, reports that rainforest trees grow much more slowly in warmer nighttime temperatures, which is a hallmark of climate change in the tropics.

Answer 2

Use as little electricity and fuel as possible; Only have light on in the room you're in, ride a bike or take the bus instead of driving. You could also give the money you save to charities that are trying to stop global warming. There's a list here: http://www.looktothestars.org/charity

Answer 3

There are no experimental data to support the hypothesis that increases in human hydrocarbon use or in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are causing or can be expected to cause unfavorable changes in global temperatures, weather, or landscape. There is no reason to limit human production of CO2, CH4, and other minor greenhouse gases as has been proposed.

We also need not worry about environmental calamities even if the current natural warming trend continues. The Earth has been much warmer during the past 3,000 years without catastrophic effects. Warmer weather extends growing seasons and generally improves the habitability of colder regions.

As coal, oil, and natural gas are used to feed and lift from poverty vast numbers of people across the globe, more CO2 will be released into the atmosphere. This will help to maintain and improve the health, longevity, prosperity, and productivity of all people.

The United States and other countries need to produce more energy, not less. The most practical, economical, and environmentally sound methods available are hydrocarbon and nuclear technologies.

Human use of coal, oil, and natural gas has not harmfully warmed the Earth, and the extrapolation of current trends shows that it will not do so in the foreseeable future. The CO2 produced does, however, accelerate the growth rates of plants and also permits plants to grow in drier regions. Animal life, which depends upon plants, also flourishes, and the diversity of plant and animal life is increased.

Human activities are producing part of the rise in CO2 in the atmosphere. Mankind is moving the carbon in coal, oil, and natural gas from below ground to the atmosphere, where it is available for conversion into living things. We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result of this CO2 increase. Our children will therefore enjoy an Earth with far more plant and animal life than that with which we now are blessed.

When we start taking care of our bodies, we will start taking care of our planet.

Walk instead of drive.

We have become a Nation of personal comfort, and we are becoming over weight, with high blood pressure, Diabetes.

Answer 6

Start using alternative fuels and energy from renewable energy sources like wind and sun....for further info visit:

Answer 7

Our Earth is doing fine.  Don't let the 'man-did-it' cultists get to you.

Answer 8

Don't worry about it. We need to take care of the earth but just because it is warming doesn't mean we're causing it. CO2 issions dont effect the temperatue. Acutally the sun and clouds cause more warming. Back in medival times the earth was warmer than today and we didn't cause it then or do anything about it. Then the earth cooled with out our help. The earth has gone through cycles forever and it will continue to. In the 1970's an ice age was predicted and that didn't come true. The media has blown this out of proportion. This isn't about the environment any more.i ill only be proven wrong after theyre dead, so now it makes more sense for them to make something exciting than true. Don't believe everything you hear. Our earth isn't going to burn and we shouldn't stop progress of our economy for a few trees. It comes down to, would you save a tree or live your life with cars and electricity?

Answer 9

yeah its really scary, and i dont think enough people are doing stuff to stop it, like stop people from cutting down the rainforest and stuff because all the tree's would help to take in the carbon dioxide, i dont know when it will be taken care of though, because of all the people who continue to disagre and call it a myth

Answer 10

Big industries are not hurting the earth, and it doesn't need saving - YOU do.

Answer 11

you should try to use as little electricity as possible, unplug things that you are not using, use public transportation or carpool instead of driving, take your own re-useable bags to the grocery store
