Climat is changing. What to do?

there are a lot of ways to save our environment. and, if we all do at least one simple task, it would have an impact to our planet. let me count off things we could do: 1. plant trees; 2. save water - do not keep water running; when washing the car or bathing pets, use the pail instead of a running hose 3. save current - turn off light and equipment when not in use; 4. avoid activities that add pollution like smoking; 5. proper garbage disposal - separate biodegradable from non-biodegradable; recyclable matters may be recycled or reused 6. reduce too much use of plastic; 7. reduce too much use of paper (paper come from trees and a lot of trees get cut down just to make them); use both sides of the paper 8. avoid using too much styrofoam ( when these things are crushed, they emit gas that is dangerous to the environment); 9. use your own bag when going shopping at the groceries - some groceries now allow this; 10. contribute to organizations that aim to save the environment like WWF-world wildlife foundation; 11. avoid throwing trash just anywhere; look for garbage cans maybe there are a lot more small things we can do to contribute

we can simply help by recyling and doing all the stuff that is possible for even a person to do..because we can't like 'stop' the global warming..of course the big contries like america an d japan should put this matter ahead..nowadays everything done in i big scale..just look at the amount of rubbish..the thickness of smoke..and even worse..the human attitude who likes to blame others for this problem..if everyone is aware and try to amke it better by doing their part.it can help...

Lack of common sense is causing the changes in our environment. Water levels are not increasing. They are just returning to previous normal levels. A normal level that is allows the earth to be balanced, and healthy. We have suffered from low water levels due to man. Storage of water that normally would be recycled by the earth, put back into the atmosphere, and then dispersed as needed. A huge majority of the earths water supply is kept, and stored. Water acts as a coolant for our earth. Water in the air is cooled by winds, and helps to lessen the heat of the sun. Since there has been lower levels of that coolant in our environment the earth has begun to fix the problem. This is why ice melting, to increase the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, and keep the earth properly balanced. There's not much you can do though. People's greed, and fears have gotten us here. Just let the ice melt.

hi,camomile07, Thisis all human made mistakes lie irrgular usaeof pastic,deforestation,Industrial reen house gases... Apart from water,electricity..we are in danger with Global warming,it is the duty of elders to give pollution free environment to the FUTURE GENERATIONS. We are running nearer to the reducing petrolium reserves....what next,that too pollution free alternative energy..think of biodiesel,may be from algae,vegetables,palm,pongamia..JATROPHA.. http://www.newjatrophaworld.com Reduce using plastic ...massive plantation...increase forest area..reduce industrial green house gases...if we effectively follow,we can reduce pollution and protect our environment to SOME EXTENT... All the best.

First I disagree with the statement that everyone should be working to solve a problem which concerns everyone, I think it is better for everyone to focus on their comparative advantage and that should be most efficent for humanity as a whole. Also the fact that climate change affects everyone means that anyone investing in stopping it will only be reaping a proportion of their returns, green is a merit good so it is down to government to regulate. As for what government should be doing I say they should award prizes for useful research, this is better than emissions targets which focus on halting human progress rather than directing it. If we stop progress for the sake of preventing one desaster story we will then fall victim to all the rest; there will be no technology to solve the meteorite or the next SARS.

I do everything I can that is kind to the earth. Switching off power on modems etc., Recycling. Buying the right products that are environmentally friendly, whenever possible. Using less of everything. As long I'm doing my bit, I'm happy.

There are some people that worry about all the problems in the world. There are other people who live life without worrying about anything. However, I am one of those people in between, because I like to have some opinion but not too much. There may be hundreds of people arguing over the fact that we caused it or that we didn't, but the truth is we cannot reverse it, well at least to my knowledge. We need to just enjoy life and allow the scientists to figure it out and not just constantly question them. The change in climate brings new fashions giving more opportunities to certain clothing companies, etc. It all evens out in the end.

i have no idea what we can do about this "global warming" because simply we understand the problem and understand results but we are missing the key element solutions there are many but none of them really work in the amount of time we are looking for people say 2012 is the last year for humans due to global warming so we might wanna stop this warming soon

I don't want to think about this, but it seems everything happening weird nowadays are trying to warn us that doomsday is near. Annanaki2012, the Mayan calendar ending on Dec,21,2012, the Planet X they have seen in our solar system, travelling on a course that would lead to a collision with earth. First time i heard about it, i was in disbelief.But when i saw a lot of youtube revealing the phenomenons leading to that very day, i think this is it! YOu can try watching youtube dealing with annanaki or planet x or doomsday2012.And hope u can tell me if they are making sense at all. Earth has been abused, enough is enough maybe. (^_^)

Yes you are definitely correct our temperature right now is not normal already all we have to do is protect ourselves from the neat of the sun that can cause skin cancer and any other diseases.We cannot stop this kind of climate we had because this is nature and also we called human made.Many reason why it is happening today the unexpected disaster happening in our country today.All we need to do is pray,do good and help lessen the things that can can affect especially throwing our own garbage,preserve our trees and conserve water and electricity.

Every instrument/tool made has its capacity or life span. A cup can hold so much water and mo more. A vehicle can move at its maximum speed and no more. Similarly the world can hold a number of people and when this number is exceeded it breaks up. It can withstand evils done by men upto a degree and when this is exceeded it begins to dismantle itself. Some say that when both of the above happens, nature finds some way like an earthquake, war or some other form of natural disaster to get rid of the excess population. Those who believe in God say that God sends some disaster to punish the evil mankind and purify them. our earth, it seems ,is at the threshold of such a purification. Either we mend our ways or naure/God would force us to do that.
