What are the best ways to prevent global warning?

Question

I would like to know so I can help the Earth.

Answer 1

1. Try to limit automobile use:  if you go out in a car, plan to do as many things as possible and think clearly about what you need.  Plan your route so that you are not doubling back over the same road you went by.

2. Use mass transit or bicycle as much as possible

This will limit greenhouse gas.

3.  Overpopulation is a problem.  If you are of childbearing age or will be, have only 2 children.  This does not cause a net gain on the population.

Answer 2

In order to prevent global warming everybody on the face of this Earth should work together to stop it. We should:

1. Drive less, or carpool or use mass transit

2. Turn out the lights in rooms you aren't using

3. Industrys should find subsitudes for energy such as solar or wind.

4. Plant trees

5. Don't be wasteful of stuff that nature gives you

6. Don't litter

7. Use less Hairspray, (use wigspray instead, since it's enviormentally friendly)

8. Don't start  fires

9. Have 2 children or less, more people equals more pollution

Answer 3

Global warming is a natural part of the Earth's environment, as is climate change.  It is cyclical in nature and has occurred many times in the past, followed by periods of cooling.  There is essentially nothing we can do about it.  The planet is not threatened globally, but adverse effects by climate change can occur on more local scales.  I don't believe we need to "save the planet" because the Earth's climate is always in flux and not under our control.  Regardless, I am a firm believer in finding ways to diversify and be more efficient with resources and reducing waste where practical and feasible.

Answer 4

Move the Earth further out in its orbit

Increase cloud cover

Cover dark areas of the Earth with Aluminum foil

Paint all roofs white

Replace highway blacktop with white-top

Sequester CO2 and CH4 and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere

Answer 5

First you have to understand how long the earth has been storing up the fossil fuels. The coal, oil and natural gas that we are using now are products of the earth converting plants and animals into their present forms over (often) millions of years. They have been stored now for millions of years without being used until now. By being used now, we are converting these fuels from stored carbon, into released carbon. Thus allowing this released carbon to act as a greenhouse effect gas again.

Since we are talking about a situation where the Earth once had a lot of stored carbon and now that stored carbon is disappearing at a tremendous rate (and will continue into the future) We can be truthful in saying that there is a definite trend, and relationship in the increase of greenhouse gasses. We can also say that these greenhouse gasses would not have been released without the intervention of man. Logically therefore we can say that global warming gasses have been released and any global warming increases are directly attributed to mankind’s releasing them.

The damage done by increased greenhouse emissions has already taken its toll. This is evident by the melting of polar ice and glaciers across the globe. Some will say that there is no such thing as global warming, because there is in their opinion very little change in the average global temperature. However when you take into account the fact that there is less ice, and snow, because of the melting of polar ice and glaciers across the globe. That melted ice, snow and glaciers across the globe will in themselves temporarily lower the overall ocean temperatures untill they all melt. Thereby lowering the average temperatures on the earth. So if you account for that, the temperature can be proven to be increasing.

We cannot get the world back the way it was, even as of fifty years ago, much less stop the damage that will still occur in the future. Sure we could try to stop all industry that will cause pollution, but at what cost. Without industry we could not sustain the present world population. Giving up industry and sacrificing billions of people on this planet in the process, is not a viable solution (even trying to merely lower greenhouse emissions is at best a temporary solution).

The biggest problem we have now is not just the fact that we have more greenhouse gasses trapping heat in, but we are getting less and less sunlight being reflected out from the planet. As the snow cover melts from more and more of the planets surface, the sunlight heats up more parts of the earth that once reflected light back out. It is like a dog chasing its tail (until it gets dizzy and falls from exhaustion). As global warming just keeps building on itself till the ecological balance fails, and this planet will no longer sustain the teeming human populations.

Greenhouse effect cure (there are no real cures but this may help till we can find one). First I want to point out that there are no real, viable short term, or easy methods of curing our Global warming woes. The damage to the environment has already been done and is, for all intent and purposes, basically irreversible. It is likely, however, that any type of plan to get rid of Global warming, will require some type of dramatic ecological compromises.

Some will say that all we need to do is give up industry on the planet and the world will eventually go back to the way it was. I say it is too late for that solution (as a short term solution anyway).

My plan, however, will require the use of old tires and recycled plastics. Of course it will require some engineering feats also, and a few ecological compromises. The benefits of using these wasted products will far outweigh the compromises required.

My idea is to build large floating islands (white on top, to reflect sunlight back out of our planet) made from used tires (filled with co2) and recycled plastics. Yes there are engineering and ecological problems, but everyone has to admit there are worse problems in our current situation. So the only feasible solution is to build a bunch of artificial reflection "islands" across the planet.

There will be other benefits realized, once we build enough of these islands. One of the problems associated with the increased temperatures we are experiencing is the possibility of increased hurricane intensity and frequency. Having enough of these floating islands in strategic points in the oceans will help to alleviate this problem also. It is a well known fact that hurricanes form in areas of the ocean where the temperature rises above approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit. If we can keep those areas below that temperature (by reflecting sunlight away), we can prevent the formation of hurricanes. Without these floating islands, hurricanes will probably continue to increase in intensity and frequency…

We need a solution to deal with our Global warming woes, and we need it now. Even if this is a difficult path to follow, it will pay off in the future. The overall problems I see for Greenhouse effect is that we can go green all we want, but Global warming and our constant desire to be comfortable, will eventually undermine any efforts we may do. Unless we can get rid of some of the excess heat in this world, we will always be under the eventual threat of a thermal overheating demise.

Answer 6

buy one of the cars that only produce water vapors and reuse water bottles and buy reusable shopping bags, use the plastic bags from stores as overnight bags or to clean pet f***s.
