How could we as a country reduce global warming?? Use alternative energy???

Question

Please answer!!! Thanks!!!

Answer 1

The best way to reduce global warming is to reduce the amount of energy being used. Renewable energy would help reduce global warming. Not all alternative energy is renewable.

Answer 2

all right, if you wish to know how to reduce global warming. here are some ideas. Use tidal energy, compost organic waste, flourscent lightbulbs, also reduce, reuse recycle.

Answer 3

There is no global warming!  There are only earth cycles.

There are no scientific facts supporting gw, only opinions.

People can help clean up the air that we breath but thats about all they can do.

Answer 4

As well intentioned as you are, please understand that our country cannot reduce global warming.....or cooling, BUT we can (and have in the past) adjust to it.  I hate to keep repeating the same old message, but the Earth's climate is not...nor has it ever been....static.  The Earth is either in a cycle of cooling or warming.....and has been for eons.

If you are interested in a cleaner environment, then by all means, support recycling efforts, maintain your vehicle to run as efficiently as possible....etc.  The 'clean' thing...man CAN do!

Answer 5

The ones who say it's a natural pheonomenon are right - however they are missing on significant element of consideration.  

All major shifts in climate have been preceeded by increases in carbon dioxide.  The  carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are now higher then they have ever been, and have gone up at a much faster rate than ever before in history.  

Climatologists do not know for sure what impact this will have on climate change.  

I will tell you this - if you look at the levels of pollution, the speed at which are are changing the earth's topography due to coal mining, and the amount of carbon dioxide released in to the atmosphere from things like coal mining for electricity generation, human must be blamed for these effects.  

The earth can heal itself, if we stop polluting and interfering with the natural cycle.  When we stop industrial food production and go back to organically balance farms.  

Reduce energy usage by unplugging things not in use and making sure that your house is insulated and you recyucle as much as you can.  Reduce water usage by turning off the faucet and only running full loads of laundry and dishes.

There are so many wonderful things you can do to help the earth that will not impact your lifestyle.

Answer 6

Certainly use alternative fuel would help the air quality and reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Solar energy for sure is a wonderful thing to use. On the other hand, I don't believe that we are the cause of global warming, but it is instead a natural climate change. I believe this because we have had many climate changes since the beginning of time, way before humans had cars or any other pollutants. Oh Yes, I did see Al Gore's movie about global warming and it didn't explain why we have always had climate changes.

Answer 7

You humans are so ignorant if you think you can change the weather.

Answer 8

We produce 70% of our electricity by burning fossil fuel, and all of that capacity should be replaced by nuclear fission reactors.
