How can we stop global warming apart from stopping excess co2 usage and recycling?
we dont use too much CO2 we produce is as a bi product through many moder day practices such as burning fossil fuels to make power, run cars. There are also other problems such as methan production which is 21 times more warming as a greenhouse gas than CO2 which is produced when biodegradable matter rots (such as inlandfill) and when organic matter is digested (cows produce a lot) recycling helps stop methane production, used less energy (created by burning fossil fuels) to make a new product rather than from virgin materials and helps reduce deforestation…trees take in CO2 to live and grow there are many things we can do to take more care of our environment…..i am not sure if global warming is a natural or man made phenomina or a mixture but we need more respect for the world we live in!!!
Cutting down on CO2 emissions and recycling are all very well, but it’s a bit like bailing out a sinking ferry with a teacup. Most greenhouse gases come from animals. In the long run, the problem is self-correcting. It will get too hot and wet and most animals (including humans) will die out. With no more breathing and farting, the world will slowly cool until new animals evolve to spoil it all again. The alternative is to plant a lot of trees – and to stop burning the timber. Trees are an excellent way of taking CO2 and methane out of the atmosphere and the carbon is stored in the timber until it rots of burns. 10,000 years ago, we had 3 times as much forest as we have now. Put it back and global warming will reverse. The only problem is that it would involve international cooperation on an unprecedented scale and there are far more votes in war.
i’m not totaly convinced that the reasons we are given for global warming are fact.But i do know that destroying the rainforests is going to be one of the human races biggest regrets as an intelligent race we need to stop destroying our planet otherwise global warming will be the least of our problems.People in third world countries are doing the least damage,yet they are the ones who are suffering most.Maybe we could learn somthing from them !
Reforestration (in a word, planting trees). As the trees grow, they take CO2 out of the air. But if we do not stop excess CO2 emissions, we will not be albe to stop global warming. Fortunately, it is NOT a matter of choosing between that and economic well-being. In fact, contrary to the propaganda of the coal and oil companies, getting off fossil fuels will help the econommy and consumers, not hurt. Think about it. here’s two examples: >the use of compact flourescent bulbs requires a few bucks up front–but the bulbs last much longer, so it evens out. And it cuts your electric bill–you save money in the long run. >a car with a fuel efficient engine need not be more expensive–and it can cut the use of gas by 30-50% That’s a lot of money. All that money–from these and other products–can then be spent on oter things, stimulating the economy. New technology and things like converting homes to energy efficient systems provide/create jobs. And so on. The point: are there some costs that
