So mesbakh discuss about the glaciers melting on their area. I was really alarmed by this discussion, as you can see our protective layer called the ozone layer which shield us from highly hazardous ultraviolet rays is thinning. As a result the so called global warming.This is some serious topic cause catastrophy like typhoons is connected to global warming.
If I were the president of a country my strategy would be to find an alternative energy that does'nt require fuel. We rely much on fossil fuels that is why their is a lot of gas emissions which is toxic to the ozone layer which is why it's thinning already. I don't know but there is already technologies that has been launch that does'nt require fuel. I guess they really just have a problem on the distribution.
Out of interest, what would be yours?
PS: I'm not running in the senate, i would be just a nuisance. Haha

1. Plant trees.
2. Plant more trees.
3. Phase out jeepneys and old cars.
4. Plant even more trees.

Even if we plant more trees the frequency of deforestation is a lot more better, I think that is what LK2018 is saying of the impossibility. And we can't just phase out jeepneys and old cars in the Philippines it's there way of daily living. I think if the government is generous enough they should replace all the jeepneys with e-jeepneys.

@dave121495 But maybe we need to start change within ourselves, by being mindful of where we throw our trash and planting trees, it's a good contribution to nature.

Go solar and wind power, shut down all those electric companies and phase out all vehicles that use gas or diesel except for military use

@myklj999 if that happens we will go figure out how to create an artificial sun, we already have the tech to create artificial sunlight for plants

@myklj999 lol haha the numbers is pretty low JJ, we can't even know the hotness of the core yet. and take a look of this picture. you'd be the judge if it only take it 20 years. Even if you doubled down earth it's still would'nt take 20 years to drain the sun.

Actually we have solved the Ozone problem and they already are seeing the restoration of the Ozone layer in south pole. Global warming is caused by excessive carbon emission by us humans for burning coal and oil and releasing this Carbon in the atmosphere which causes the heat to be trapped in our atmosphere causing the global warming.
As a strategy I think we should start by finding alternatives vs. burning of oil to produce energy. We now have solar, wind and now the wave technology were we harness power from the sun, wind and from seawaves to get enough energy. And finding ways to slowly go away from using oil in transportation since they are also the top users of oil.

@dave121495 Ozone depletion does not make our atmosphere hot but it protects us from dangerous uv radiation from the sun.
We are already tapping geothermal energy. We have one near volcanoes.

I've heard it that the Ozone layer is restoring, but i'm a little bit skeptic because of the rising heat index. I don't know but the heat is far more drastic today than from the past.I agree that we need to start finding alternatives. Aside from solar, wind and other alternative I discovered recently that we can get energy the from heat of the ground. Hope our government is finding solutions to this.

@rsa101 I'm sorry if i'm misguided. That's what the word I was wanting to say, geothermal energy. That's a pretty good idea if we allow it to be our main source of energy.

We don't have the money. But it's not practical since we have rainy days. We still have to ran on Gas, oil and geothermal. Maybe proper disposal of plastic which could be generated back into oil would have been useful.
But we over here are not so disciplined in dealing with trash.

I agree. We don't really have the money. If only all people would move, I guess it's not too late.

Well I will immediately order using of celophanes in all the uses of it. I will also impose no tax on renewable energy and plant more trees.

That is a good strategy, imposing no tax so they would patronize more on renewable energy.

November should be cold in England. Its been 13-15 degrees in the day, every day. Weird

Yes putri, but the problem is its not distributed yet. In the Philippines I can't see solar cars yet.
