¿What are we doing to prevent global warming?

Question

Can you tell me what things veryone is doing to prevent global warming

Answer 1

I guess people are recycling more

using less paper

they are changing the bulb lights

taking cars out of the street

planting trees

opening online banking

using less water

Answer 2

Since so many people believe that man is the cause of global warming, these individuals should commit suicide then we would have less people on Earth.  

Get over it!  Do what man does best and adapt.

Answer 3

I'm running the AC year-round now.  Wearing jackets indoors isn't much fun, but I'm doing my part!

;)

Answer 4

Not enough!! it will take the whole world to make a real difference every one has to participate, all the time, not just a one time deal..

Answer 5

I'll tell you one thing.. we aren't doing a very good job. hm.. heres one: Recycling.

Answer 6

In the UK we are building eco towns were the houses are made so they are more enviromentaly friendly

Answer 7

Not much, as the Sun is responsible for all warming on Earth, not man.

Man is far too insignificant to have any impact on something as huge as the climate.

Answer 8

Can we prevent global warming? I doubt so. The earth will warm or cool with our without the presence of humans. So what I want to say is that:"don't waste your time".

Answer 9

to be honest nothing really :(

Answer 10

well, sun is responsible for the half part of global warming.

as i'm a kid, i cant do anything to prevent it exept for giving ideas. people in a particular region to decide atleast one hour of not using any kind of electrical appliances as they also produce Co2. planting more and more trees will also help in preventing global warming. less use using of air conditioners will also help in this. dats all iknow to prevent global warming (i'm planting plants and i'm also asking my friends to do it, and they r doing it).

Answer 11

Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.

The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.

This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.

Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is

becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).

As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).

When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.

It's been happening for millions of years.

The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY.

As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather.

Global warming/cooling, AKA 'climate change':

Humans did not cause it.

Humans cannot stop it.

Answer 12

Considering 80% of our impending climate change is due to natural solar cycles and Earth orbit eccentricities (proven by Malkovich Earth orbit and Vostok ice core studies), and it has taken over 200 years of industrial pollution to create our share of it (about 20%)… no short term action will have any immediate effect.  In theory, if we immediately stopped using Co2 producing energy sources, we could expect to see a reversal of our contribution (that’s only 20% remember) to climate change within 100 to 150 years.  

I will remind you of the Chicken Little’s a few years back that forecast an end to life on earth if we didn’t do something about the ozone holes at the poles… we stopped using flouocarbon aerosols in spray-cans (a decidedly symbolic gesture) and voila, the ozone hole problem was solved (but the ozone holes are still there, unchanged, because they are now known to be a natural phenomenon due to the earths fluctuating magnetic field).    

The interesting part of this climate change scenario is the total lack of any meaningful action.  Predictions are grim, we could be facing global extinction of Homo Sapiens within 200-500 years, but all the politicians are doing is jockeying for power.  

The truth is, if we immediately cut back fossil fuel use world wide by 10% it would plunge the world into political chaos, millions starving in the first few years.  It was studied years ago what would be the outcome if the population of China added one egg a day to their diet.  The answer surprised most people…. To add one egg a day, the additional number of chickens would consume all the grain currently produced daily, worldwide.  Back to the drawing board… There is NO simple answer.

Answer 13

saving water by taking a quick shower & turning of the water while brushing my teeth..

hmmmmm.......recycling, using less cars, using sprays with CFC's free..

also save the animals by using "against animal testing" products... :)

Answer 14

The frightened ones who listen to the alarmists are running in circles and actually accomplishing a whole lot of nothing.

AGW is all political.

Here is truth about global warming:
