How can we help diminish Global Warming?

Question

Earth has warmed by about 1ºF over the past 100 years. But why? And how? Well, scientists are not exactly sure why this is happening. The Earth could be getting warmer on its own, but many of the world's leading climate scientists think that things people do are helping to make the Earth warmer and if nothing is done soon enough... we're gonna die soon and so is our environment

Answer 1

Use cars less.When ur not in a hurry walk or ride a bicycle to the place if its not far away.Try 2 burn things as little as possible.The global warming is caused by 2 much carbon in the air which trap the suns heat rays inside the earth and destroy the Ozone layer.

Answer 2

i asked my dad about this and he said that global warming wont happen or at last  not in our lifetime. the earth is warming up because of the gar exhausts and the smoke from factories t is meting the glaciers. i think if there wasnt as many factories and there were more elctronic cars it would help more.

Answer 3

In my humble opinion, We as a ppl have absolutely, in no way have an affect on "Global Warming". We are but small and insignificant minuscule beings of no relevance to this huge massive self supporting ecologically balanced and well-preserved planet. Imagine, if you will, The Houston astrodome and having a life-form 1000 times smaller than an ant and there happens to be a colony living there. What kind of harm could they possibly do to this Massive steel structure? For me, nothing comes to mind. But, in all good faith, re-cycling is great. Not littering, Not burning plastics etc...is just good business for the birds. But the earths gonna do what the earths gonna do. And how arrogant of us to think We could affect the Planet. Remember the "ice age", Pompeii. Earth quakes. All we can do is to live life in peace and pray no horrific natural disasters happen to wipe out Man....And Woman kind.  -S

Answer 4

Leave your refrigerator door open.

The climate has warmed and cooled cyclically for thousands of years.  Scientists have known this for a long time.  This is just a political scam, like Y2K.  If you remember Y2K, all the experts were telling us that the world would come to an end on 31 December 1999, because all of the old computers just used the last two digits of the year.

I knew this was nonsense then, and I told anyone who would listen.  Getting back to "Global Warming", twenty years ago, we were being told that we were going into a new Ice Age.

Unfortunately, there are scientists for sale, just like there are doctors for sale.  You can prove just about anything if you ignore the evidence that disproves your claim.

It is the politicians who are pushing the idea of global warming.  It is just a device to control us, like terrorism.  They create the terrorism, and then use it as an excuse to deprive us of our liberties.

They promote crime by allowing rap "music" to influence millions of kids, glorifying violence, killing, rape and drugs.  Then, they use this violence as an excuse to take our guns.

Answer 5

Perhaps it is a natural cycle. Perhaps it is burning of coal and oil. Perhaps it is an increasing number of flatulant people and cattle for them to feed upon on the earth.

Decrease the population of the earth. It is twice what it was 70 years ago and at 6 billion now will be twice what it now in another 30 years. The earth cannot sustain so many people.

Answer 6

Many Americans in denial...too consumed w/ materialism. And a President who only wants to start wars. Got to get rid of him.

Answer 7

The theory of man-made global warming is false.  Anyone who believes otherwise has not investigated the evidence or is purposely remaining ignorant to the legitimate opposition to global warming.  I have given up an one and a half hours to watch “An Inconvenient Truth” so I ask you to do the same and watch the movie detailing the opposition.

Another general resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warm...

CO2 is not causing the globe to warm the opposite is true, the warming is increasing the atmospheric CO2.  When the world heats it gradually increases the temperature of the oceans which serve as the largest CO2 sink.  As the oceans heat up they release CO2 which is stored in them.  The information comes from the same data Al Gore uses, the temperature always goes up before the concentration of CO2 goes up.

http://www.lavoisier.com.au/papers/artic...

CO2 makes up only .03% of our atmosphere.  Water vapor, another greenhouse gas, makes up 1-4% of our atmosphere, this gas is acknowledged to be the main greenhouse gas.  All human activities combined contribute only 6 Gigatons of CO2 to the atmosphere each year.  Animals, through respiration, decomposition, etc contribute 150 Gigatons of CO2 to the atmosphere.  So humans contribute only a small amount of CO2 to the atmosphere which is already in very small concentrations in the atmosphere.

http://oco.jpl.nasa.gov/science.html This is where my data came from, it is an interesting site, it displays the same graphics as Al Gore in his movie but it tells how low the human contribution is.  So Al Gore is using the same data but coming to a different conclusion, who do you want to believe a politician with no scientific training or the NASA CO2 laboratory, a group of scientists who spend their entire careers studying CO2.

We know the greenhouse effect is real it is a necessary effect to keep our planet at a habitable temperature.  However if our current warming is due to greenhouse gasses it would cause warming in the troposphere , but the troposphere is actually getting cooler.

http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature... That points to other explanations to our current warming.

So what is causing our current warming, it is the sun.

http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/...

The fact that only the earth’s surface is warming points to direct heating from the sun rather than heating due to greenhouse gasses.  Also other planets in our solar system are warming pointing to a common cause of warming, that common cause being the sun.

The global warming crowd says our glaciers are melting and animals will suffer this is another false claim.

http://www.co2science.org/scripts/CO2Sci...

http://www.nationalcenter.org/NPA235.htm...

http://www.worldclimatereport.com/

the global warming crowd also claims a scientific consensus on the issue, this is wrong in two ways.  One, there is no consensus, this is a false claim to make you believe in global warming by suppressing the opposition.  http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm

Second, even if there was a consensus it would mean nothing, science is not politics, you don’t vote on theories to determine their legitimacy.

The IPCC is the main supporter of global warming, their statements are defended blindly by people who don’t want to admit that global warming is not real.  People will claim that they took into account natural sources of CO2, they didn’t.  Take a look for yourself:

http://www.ipcc.ch/activity/srccs/index....  That is the latest IPCC report, read the entire report, do a search of the documents, there is absolutely no mention of natural sources of CO2.  The natural sources have been completely ignored.  Also people will claim that the IPCC took the sun into account in their report, this is not entirely correct, while the sun is mentioned the report it’s effects have not been accurately represented.

http://www.john-daly.com/forcing/moderr....  The IPCC did not take into account the Svensmark factor.  This would greatly reduce the effect of solar radiation on the earth.  Look back up to the solar resources to see the effect of the sun correctly represented.

Also allegations have been by IPCC scientists who disagreed with the IPCC statements.  They say that their research was censored or taken out of the IPCC report.  This is not the first time the IPCC has lied, they forged the famous “hockey stick” graph, which later resulted in a reissuing of the IPCC report.

Quotes form politicians, CEO’s, and others are not proof of global warming, they issue these statements to get votes and customers.  Scientists are able to get published and get time on the media by supporting global warming.  The IPCC continually lies and misrepresents data so they keep their jobs.  

In regards to the precautionary principle that says we can only help if we switch over to alternative energy, this idea is not correct.  While this may seem legitimate it only helps the first world, third world countries can not afford to switch to the more expensive energy options.  Also the US currently spends 4 billion dollars a year on global warming research which could be better spent on research for disease or to fight poverty.  For an excellent example of how the precautionary principle is harmful you do not need to look further than DDT.  This pesticide was cheap and incredibly effective but it was banned because of it harmful effects on egg shells.  Now thousands of people die every year in third world countries because of malaria, a disease that could be easily controlled with DDT.

I hope anyone who believes in global warming they will take a look at the resources I provided.  These resources should convince you that global warming is not man-made, it is caused by cycles in the earths climate.  If you are not convinced I hope you at least take a new look at global warming as an unproven idea.  Remember that global warming is big business for anyone who aligns themselves with it.

I could not go this entire post without mentioning global cooling.  In the 1970’s it was claimed that there was a consensus on the fact that the world was headed into an ice age.  We have seen once before how damaging a false claim about our climate change can be to our world.  Most of the global warming crowd does not want you to know about this scare because it is so similar to the scare today.  Government panels were formed and claimed the world was headed to an ice age, evidence poured in supporting the claim, a consensus was claimed, then the whole issue just faded away.  That is what will happen with the false scare of global warming.

Answer 8

The Earth has been going through cycles for many millenia. It heats up, cools down, repeat. We just had an Ice Age and are now going into a Warm Age. Give us a few millenia and the Earth will start going into a cooling phase again.

Answer 9

No one wants to admit it, but it takes 100 or so years to re- secure the carbon dioxide in the atmoshpere.  (Yes, coal burning from before WWI is affecting us now.)  Cutting emissions now might have an affect in 2017.

Carbon recapture is the only solution.  Newsweek had an article on it.

Answer 10

Hmm........Just Re-cycle BUSH and his neocon buddies. You have to get rid of the p**p to get rid of the smell, air fresheners wont hold on for long.
