What are some of the significant things humans can be do to stop global warming & climatic changes?

Question

What are some of the significant things at grand level (like macro engineering, geoengineering, political strategy, social entrepreneurship) humans as scientific/political/entrepreneurial communities can do to stop global warming & climatic changes.

I am not asking for what we can do as individuals (like drive less, burn less fossil fuel, etc). I am also not asking your opinion whether global warming is true or not. I just want to know more about significant moves at grand level we as humans can do about it. References/URLs to useful articles would be highly appreciated. Thanks for making at least some difference.

Vote Democrat.

Answer 2

We can't stop climate change, the climate we can change is the moral climate and that doesn't seem to draw much interest.

Plugging Al Gores pie hole, grounding his private jets, parking his limos, and closing off ninety percent of his mansion would significantly lower carbon emissions.

Answer 4

yayyyy! i'm so glad you asked!

1. We need need need need need to change the way we're burning our fossil fuels. If you can, ride a bike to work/ school, get a moped or a hybrid car. These are great on gas and will definatly help a lot. If every single human who drives biked for 30 mins a day instead, we would take down the amount of environmental toxins by 30 billion tons.

2. Our homes are way too big. Buy a house that suits your needs and not your desires. After watching Green Planet On Demand, I realized that it costs our Earth a hefty price while we heat and cool our large homes.

3. Spread the word to others and support the cause. Become a vegetarian because the meat industries produce a lot of toxins. Contribute money to WWF, (just check their website, worldwildlifefund.com), and honestly just tell others. Let's spread the love :]

Restore the space based solar power system killed by Jimmy Carter as one of his first acts as president to reward the oil companies that helped him get into office. This would develop resources on the moon and in space and mine asteroid resources guaranteeing a surplus of electric power and other resources as well living space for several million years to come.

Answer 8

Everyone has energy requirements. The only way to reduce the total energy requirement and demand on other limited resources is to reduce the global population.

Two kid lid as a universal policy for all nations.

The only alternative is space exploration for resources and to encourage migration to other planets.

Answer 9

Man has no control over the Sun (the leading cause of climate change).  We can come up with as many elaborate rain dances and human sacrifice ceremonies as you like, but they'll make no difference.  There's a reason such practices were abandoned centuries ago.  Too bad we're fixing to repeat history...
