  1. ditch your car!


  2. stop going to the movie, lot of wasted electricity there for popcorn and lighting. don`t go to county fair, more wasted gas and electricity. don`t swim in heated swimming pools, JUST DON`T USE ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES ENERGY!

  3. Turn your TV, stereo etc off at the mains rather than leaving them on standby

    Turning your heating and AC down

    Having a shower rather than a bath

    Walk more and take the bus rather than drive everywhere

    Car pool

    By products with less packaging

    Recycle

    Wear last years fashions rather than binning them

    Shop in thrift stores, you can find loads of cute retro stuff in them

    Don't leave your PC running over night

    Turn lights off when you leave the room

    Grill your food instead of using the oven

  4. You can get those energy efficient light bulbs. Recycling makes a huge impact as well. If you don't live too far from work or the store you can ride your bike or walk instead of taking your car. I try to reuse my plastic containers that food comes in (like some lunch meat containers). When you use sandwich bags, you can reuse them if you don't put anything to messy in them. Also, empty bread bags are perfect for storing things in rather than throwing them in the trash right away.  I hope that helps!

  6. Replace your light-bulbs with Compact flourecents inflate your tires properly, walk when you are making a short trip, don't use drive throughs at lunch go in and eat, turn off lights and TVs when you leave the room, plant a tree in your yard(helps regulate the temp), get a tankless waterheater pass this advice on to a friend.  Those are some easy things you can do.  Good luck.

  7. If you really believe in global warning then the first thing I would do is see a mental health specialist.

  8. Start small, with little things like buying recycled aluminum foil. You can recycle it when you're done in the same place you recycle aluminum cans (and it can be recycled over and over).

    It takes 5% of the energy it would take to make brand new aluminum foil.

    Here is a blog I found with some things you can buy and do to make your life a little more green. (and where I learned about the aluminum foil)

    http://easygreenlife.blogspot.com/

  9. little things will do almost nothing

    this world's nations need to work together to begin fixing the MAJOR problems. enforcing them.

    but things like recycling and driving less using less energy (turning off lites using less water) will help

  10. umm nothing ,global warming does not exsist.

    however cleaning up your own mess and sometimes others ,i am talking trash is a good way to help the wildlife .

    grow your own food ,its much healthier ,cheaper and it tastes much better.

    stop driving everywhere it will save in your wallet and you can contribute to cleaner air .

    and when you recycle keep the cans and turn them in for cash!

  11. Buy a cave and live in there. Eat raw food. Start farming but don't use modern methods. Eat bugs as your only meat source. Hunt your own meat if needed and use the skins for your clothing. Get rid of your computer, tv, radio and all other worldly possesions. Quit using hair products all together. Don't bath unless it is in a river or lake and don't use soap.

    Have fun and remember its for mother earth.

  12. Well first of all:

    There is no proof that global warming exists. However something will most definatley occur if we dont take care of our earth!

    Here are some things you can do:

    -Do YOUR part. One of the parts that causes global warming is pollution, mainly used by cars and factories. So you could bike instead of drive, and iof you sold your car that would save you some money, too.

    -When you are doing YOUR part, help share it with others, familly, friends, ect....

    -Don't get too freaked out, I don't think the world will blow up tomarrow (= Just try your best and help others.

    Good Luck!

  13. Avoid using Airconditions, coolers, too much of car driving, use tube lights instead of bulbs, dont use unnecessary lights, dont consume unneccesary electricity, dont waste water, dont waste food, make 3 seperate dustbins to throw papers, plastics & tins, and organic matter seperately.

  14. Hold back your farts.

  15. you can do alot of little things. If you have a car try not to use it if you dont need it. Walk to places if you can get their.  Turn your lights off when not in use. open your blinds instead of even using ur lights. Open the windows in the summer to provide a.c instead of actually using ur air conditioning. turn ur water off when ur brushing and not actually rinsing ur brush. Anything that gives off gass that harms te earth try not to use it..there's alot more research it thanks for careing bout hte earth..ahah bye

  16. very little things you could do is

    turn off lights when not needed..

    take your bike into town instead of the car.. try and use the car as little as you can.

    take the bus , public transport

    sleep with no AC..

    use less water (very important)..

    do your washing not everyday.. make sure you have a big clump of cloths first then all together put them in the washing machine..

    turn off the computer when not needed..

    turn off TV when not needed or radio.

  17. Ask Gore doesn't he do a good job...

  18. You might visit some of the 'carbon footprint' calculator websites, and plug in some different numbers.  This may help you decide on locally-grown food versus eco-tourism, etc.  

    If you have a house, you may wish to consider a white roof, if you are getting a car, you may wish to purchase white rather than black.

  19. HOOK LINE AND SINKER.......They have you

    wake up wake up the matrix has you, shhhhh!

    figure if you believe in man made global warming you might also believe you living in a virtual world.....

    The only thing you can do to combat the myth of global warming is stop believing in junk science.

    iq higher than most in the world this guy has it right...read an be amazed. or dont read an stay ignorant of the facts.

    UNited nations say it might be wrong

    http://ff.org/centers/csspp/pdf/20070201...

    http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles...

    Hey it is just science right it is all theroy...lol

  20. There are a ton of things to do here are a few.

    us more efficient products

    turn off all house lights as much as possible

    use a batterie powered car

    use less co2 products

  21. I know most people will not read this post, they will just give me a thumbs down so here’s a summary of questions for the global warming crowd to think about, these have not been answered or even acknowledged by the global warming community.

    - Why does CO2 always rise after temperature?

    - Why is Mars warming?

    - If temperature is raise by CO2 than why did global temperature drop between 1940 and 1970 while CO2 continued to rise?

    - Why is the troposphere cooling if the greenhouse effect is the source of the earth’s warming?

    - What about the numerous studies showing the sun is the cause of temperature change?

    - Who funds global warming scientists?

    - Why is a scientific consensus claimed?

    - Why can you still see marks on rocks that mark the water level in the 1800’s?

    - Why is the center of the artic and Antarctic ice shelves cooling?

    - Why are the same glaciers retreating on one edge and expanding on the other?

    Finally read this:

    http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?F...

    The idea of man made global warming is false; it is based on false, misinterpreted, or biased evidence. When “An Inconvenient Truth” came out it was supposed to be the final word in proving global warming exists, but it did not. It was hosted solely by a politician who has no scientific training and presented only 2 graphs. According to these sources almost everything Al Gore claimed was either false or greatly exaggerated.

    http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/environm...

    http://www.cei.org/pdf/5539.pdf

    http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/finan...

    For a movie that debunks global warming (hosted by actual scientists and presenting more than 2 graphs) look here:

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=...

    This scientist says it will be a joke in 5 years:

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/timaruherald/4064...

    One of the biggest claims by the global warming crowd is that there is a scientific consensus, this is a blatant and shameful lie. This claim is made to coerce you into belief because there is no opposition, right? Wrong, these 17,000+ scientists would disagree with the idea of a scientific consensus. http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm

    Come to think of it when is the last time you heard that there is a scientific consensus that actually cited numbers? There never has been, people will claim that 90% of scientists agree, this number is made up. Here are the real numbers:

    http://w3g.gkss.de/G/Mitarbeiter/bray.ht...

    http://www.staff.livjm.ac.uk/spsbpeis/Sc...

    It seems there is a scientific consensus against global warming.

    Some people will ask if I expect all the scientists who agree with global warming will come out one day and say we were joking, fooled you. No I don’t believe that, this will happen:

    http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?F...

    Here’s 21 pages of disagreement:

    Here’s some general information on my position.

    The central claim by the global warming crowd is that human generated CO2 is causing the current warming of the earth, this is false. An ice core sample like the one Al Gore showed actually shows the opposite, temperature rises the concentration of CO2.

    http://vortex.plymouth.edu/atmosphere/Ic...

    The global warming crowd hardly ever shows this graph, they will only show graphs of the last 50 years or so, that is because if you take any particular 50 years it appears that CO2 is leading temperature, go ahead try it with the spike 250,000 years ago.

    This is because a rise in temperature causes the sea to give up stored CO2:

    http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2...

    Here’s another ice core study that clearly shows a cyclical pattern in earth’s temperature, we are currently at a warming phase.

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

    The main greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for 95% of the greenhouse effect, CO2 only accounts for 3.6%. It makes up only .03% of our atmosphere. Of that only a about 6Gt of that comes from humans another 150Gt comes from animals.

    This is the official NASA CO2 center, they have been studying atmospheric CO2 long before global warming was an issue, they conclude that CO2 is not the cause of warming.

    http://oco.jpl.nasa.gov/science.html

    If the earth was warming due to the greenhouse effect the troposphere would also be warming thus radiating the heat to the surface of the earth, but its not, the troposphere is actually cooling, only the earths surface is heating pointing to a more direct source of warming.

    http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature...

    And the claim that our current levels of CO2 are unprecedented are also false:

    http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/glob...

    If CO2 determines temperature why did the temperature drop between the years of 1940 and 1970 while the concentration of CO2 increased?

    The sun is causing our warming along with interplay between the sea currents. For proof look at the fact that mars is also warming.

    Time to dispel myths of global warming:

    1) Last year was the hottest year on record.

    False, a number of sources above address this and so does this one

    http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa-329es.ht...

    The world has actually cooled since 1998.

    2) This warming is unprecedented.

    False the medieval warm period was actually warmer. Grapes were grown in England, trees existed in place where there are now glaciers.

    http://www.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa-329es.ht...

    3) Glaciers are melting.

    False, only portions are melting the cores are actually cooling. Some edges are decreasing while other expand.

    http://www.globalwarming.org/article.php...

    http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2005...

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

    4) Sea levels will increase 20 feet flooding costal cities.

    False this is a lie by Al gore, even the IPCC does not agree with this. The seas are increasing in some areas and decreasing in others.

    http://www.climateark.org/articles/1999/...

    http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/content/20...

    http://globalwarmingart.com/wiki/Image:H...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Post-...

    5) This current idea is a first climate crisis.

    False, in the 1970’s there was a scare of global cooling. A scientific consensus was claimed, evidence poured in, and now, global warming. Hundreds of studies came in supporting the idea but we now know this idea was wrong.

    http://www.michaelkubacki.com/cooling.ht...

    6) Computer models predict further warming.

    The computer models are unreliable, they all depend on dozens of assumptions, if any one is wrong the whole model is wrong. Also every model assumes human CO2 causes temperature increase so the outcome is always more warming. Computer models by scientists on the other side predict cooling.

    7) The only scientists who disagree are paid by big oil.

    This is false, most are paid by non partisan groups. This also begs a counter question, who pays global warming scientists? The answer big environmental companies who make millions off selling global warming materials, alternate fuels, green living products, etc.

    Now the IPCC. Some will claim that the IPCC addressed solar impact and natural sources of CO2, they didn’t, see for yourself:

    http://www.ipcc.ch/activity/srccs/index....

    The IPCC is a political organization that knows what it will conclude before it starts its science. It has published a fake graph (the hockey stick graph) and later had to retract the report after THEY admitted it was wrong, yet they still use the graph. Scientists who disagreed with global warming were either excluded or censored.

    If you actually read this post you should at least realize that global warming is not an absolute truth, it is the subject of active scientific debate.

    Credits go to Darwin for typing that, this was entirely his work.

  22. drive less, consume less, buy local produce (and anything you can), stop eating meat (or eat less meat- 75% of current greenhouse gas emissions involve the meat industry), fly less (huge gas consumption), recycle correctly (google recycling regulations for your town)

  23. go to this blog it tell many thing about how to prevent global warming

  24. It's all in your mind........

    Go nekked....It's much cooler
