Why doesn't the whole world just stop using cars and burning fossil fuels for like 2 years?

Question

Do you think that would help stop global warming.

Answer 1

Sounds good to me.  Why don't you start the trend and tell me how you make out two years from now without driving your car, using electricity, heating your house with gas, having someone pick up your garbage, flushing the toilet, buying your food, etc.

You'll soon find out all of these things center around the thing you propose to stop using.

Answer 2

yeah right,,,like everyones gonna walk or ride a bike and just give up using cars and fossil fuels...=cold winters, more walking, and just a lot of stuff.  people are not going to do this...Tho I am for something like that,,,we need to stop contributing such high amounts of pollution.  The world just is not going to do that tho..it would not STOP global warming but it would ease it up for the time being..  people are doing so many wrong things that keep on adding on to global warming...cutting down forest, polluting, power plants, and so on and so fourth,  by the time it is too late and people actually start seeing dramatic effects from global warming..THEN they will want to prevent it and will be willing, but right now its way to much to ask and do..our world runs a certain way...on energy and power dirived from fossil fuels and so fourth.

Answer 3

No - There's no real proof we're a big contributor to the climate change cycle. So I take it you're suggesting we don't ravel, don't do any farming, don't transport anything or eat for a couple years. Sounds likea plan to me ... Read here about the heat of the sun increasing ...
