Question

What Do You Think Are Some Solutions Towards Global Warming?

Answer 1

Kick back, have a beer.  

Man cannot effect the climate.

Answer 2

One solution to it is for you to just shut up. You warm the globe every time you open your mouth. You also warm the globe by breathing. Cut it out!

Answer 3

I don't think we're going to avoid a 1-2 degree increase...we're past the point of being able to do that.

We can, however, make changes today that should mitigate how severe the climate changes will be in 50 to 100 years.  This includes driving more efficient cars, using less fossil fuels, recycling more, using less plastic products, etc.

Answer 4

If you find out what can help speed up global warming please let me know, since I'd like to do all I can to help speed this warming trend up.

Since far as I know there's absolutely nothing we can do, one way or the other, to speed it up, slow it down or stop it. Which if anyone wants to stop it completely they are insane and should be locked up in Bellevue.

Answer 5

Oh you want to warm the globe? Giant space mirrors.

Answer 6

Here are ten practical tips to reduce global warming

1. Turn off your TV. Saves electricity, and you won't have to see all those bleeding heart ads compelling you to find yourself spending more and enjoying life less. You won't miss the propaganda and the MSM won't miss you. Besides, all the valid scientific content is censored by the envirofacists anyway.

2. Turn off your computer. That way you won't be wasting electricity while being bombarded with all the idiocy telling you why global warming is all your fault. Or why you should give up all those conveniences you’ve worked so hard for, and instead buy carbon credits to assuage your guilt.

3. Stop going to movies - particularly ones with titles like ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ - which despite its name contains very little of it. Big theatres are big industry with big electric bills - therefore, CO2 emitters.

4. Avoid concerts like Live Earth. You have to waste gasoline to get there, and they burn many megawatts of electricity to amplify the show. Besides, they will expect you to buy a CD or DVD to play at home - wasting still more electricity.

5. Instead of Playstation, Xbox, or TV, read a book. Preferably one on science, scientific methodology, logic, reason, or critical thinking. Or maybe on the rise of fascism and the dangers of a one-world government. Do it before it’s too late.

6. Stop rampant consumerism. Every product you buy requires energy use in its manufacture. Stop buying things. Make them yourself - it's more greener. (Yes I know that's bad grammar ...)

7. Bicycle, don't drive your SUV, to the green rally. And make sure all the green propaganda is printed on recycled paper.

8. Stop Al Gore from flying all over the world to promote this nonsense. And since one of his houses uses twice as much electricity in one month than you do for the entire year, maybe start pressuring him to lead by example.

9. Stop drinking carbonated beverages. Yes I know that means no more beer, soda, sparkling wine, or Perrier. You know that psssst you hear when you open the containers? That's CO2 escaping into the atmosphere.

10. The best advice I can give an environ-mentalist to reduce their carbon footprint and CO2 emissions is: stop breathing!

Oh, and I heard Algae - I mean Al G. - say on Oprah that "we have maybe ten years left." After I got up from ROTFLMAO I went and bought a bigger SUV. I say, "Bring it!" I'm calling your bluff. After all, everyone knows that the leading cause of global warming is all the hot air being spewed by Al Gore and those of his ilk.

Answer 7

The biggest one is:  stop putting so much carbon in the atmosphere!

The easiest way to do that is to generate more electricity with wind and solar, and capture the carbon from the fossil fuels we still use.  In the USA, that could be done by repowering old steam powerplants using IGCC (see the DOE documents on Wabash River), reacting the CO in the syngas with steam to make hydrogen and CO2, then injecting the CO2 into the ground.

This could work out really well for the USA.  The USA has lots of played-out oil fields from Pennsylvania to Texas, where the remaining oil is in droplets too small to flow through the wet rock.  But if those fields were flooded with CO2, a substantial amount of that oil could be freed and produced.  This would decrease US oil imports.  If Abu Dhabi can do it (second link), why can't we?
