What things are being done to try and limit the effects of climate change?

Question

in the uk preferably.

Answer 1

Absolutely nothing (especially in the U.S.), but that's starting to change.

Answer 2

well they are saying that by 2050 the co2 out put will be cut by 50% but that is to be seen by our kids. other than that not much is on the plate.

Answer 3

We will be putting Li'l Bush, the turkey brain, out of the White House soon.  That should help quite a bit.  Then perhaps if we get actual leadership in this country we can get to work on this after wasting 8 long miserable years hearing the most foul lies come out of that horrid little drunk.

At least he's got us in two useless wars - that's something.  Can't see what the right wing sees in that guy - or his clone - McSame.

Answer 4

Didn't the ELF start in the UK?

Answer 5

The government have convinced many people that raising our taxes is the answer to the nonsense that is called "climate change" which confirms the belief that you can indeed "fool some of the people all the time"

Raising prices so that you can't afford to live anymore.

Less people means less pollution.

Answer 10

Not much, truthfully.  It's all talk and appeasement.

And, just today, this story hit the wires:

A synthetic chemical widely used in the manufacture of computers and flat-screen televisions is a potent greenhouse gas, with 17,000 times the global warming effect of carbon dioxide, but its measure in the atmosphere has never been taken, nor is it regulated by international treaty.

The chemical, nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), could be considered the "missing greenhouse gas," atmospheric chemists Michael J. Prather and Juno Hsu of UC Irvine wrote in a paper released June 26 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. "With the surge in flat-panel displays, the market for NF3 has exploded."

Can you imagine how many other substances or chemicals, which we are using, are contributing greatly to climate pollution, and most people are unaware of them?

It's not only the burning of fossil fuels, folks.
