Topic: What is the solution for global warming? - page 2. (Read 1013 times)

planting more trees and reduce consuming wasting energy such as fossil fuel because it causes smoke.

In recent years the Earth's climate varies considerably: some countries suffer from extreme heat, others too harsh and snowy winters, unusual for this area.

Eat less meat, because we have less cows then!

Global warming. When is it coming. Can't wait.
This year has been way too cold so far. The whole summer it rained a LOT, and it was cold too.
It is like there was no summer this year.

SO what can we do to make this global warming happen faster?

Unless everyone one become hippies and start living self sustainable lives, we're screwed :3

Oh my, where to start!

1. Reduce the amount of meat we consume - the farming industry is the biggest contributor to climate change. We all eat way more meat than we need. Most people cannot phantom a meal without meat, or at least to get it at least once a day - it is not necessary - vegan or vegetarian days are perfectly fine and you leave a much lower carbon footprint. If we do not decrease the amount of meat we consume, it does not matter how hard you try with everything else - the carbon footprint is simply way too big.
2. Stop wasting more packaging we need, especially plastic. How often don't you get a plastic bag at the shop because you did not bring one from home? How many things are not packaged in more packaging than is actually needed. Producing packaging has a considerable footprint on climate change.
3. Instead of taking the car - walk or take the bike.
4. Stop eating snacks that contains palm oil - palm oil plant farming is one of the biggest reasons that the rainforest in Brazil is being deforested. Biscuits, cakes etc. that you find in stores all contain palm oil (very few don't) - the reason? It is cheap to produce, but its carbon footprint in production is huge - especially when deforestation is taken into account.
5. Rely on green energy instead - governments need to take action here and follow in the footprint of the Scandinavian countries. My home town in Denmark expects to be run by green energy fully some time next year. There has been huge investments into solar panels and wind mills to name a few.


As a result of all this we can expect that:
- By 2045 the majority of the world seas will be fish-less (General consensus in the scientific community).
- In 30 years there will be no more coral-reefs - they cannot adapt to the warming sea temperatures. In 2016 alone 30% of the great barrier reef (which is the biggest structure made by any organism on the planet) died out.
- Most rain-forests will be gone circa 2050.
- Sea levels will rise and that will cause mass migration not to mention huge local government costs that you tax-payers will have to pay.
- Glaciers will be a thing of the past - they are melting at record levels already.

We have a window of approximately 20 years to make drastic changes - if we do not reduce our carbon emission, it will simply be too late by then and nothing can be reversed.

In my opinion it is impossible to find a persistent solution.
But we can colonize Mars That's the way.

It seems to me that alone a person can not solve anything. For this, there should be natural state programs and the implementation of which must be accompanied by laws of acts. If somewhere, or something is broken, then it must be punished very severely. Then all laws will be observed and the state will actively participate in global environmental problems and preservation of peace.

Mankind, oddly enough, not only to destroy the planet, but also to protect her. Global warming is too massive a problem to solve it alone, but with the help of “green” actions undertaken by you, you can at least a little bit, but to move the situation for the better and to inspire similar actions and other people.

I think the best solution for global warning is DISIPLINE in each one of us .. Example proper throwing of garbage, we should practice the proper segregation of garbage like 3R (Recycle, Reduce, Reuse) or biodegradable, non biodegradable and recycle. Don't cut trees, to prevent flash flood, smoke bleaching or smoking everywhere to prevent air pollution, even to factory who produce bad smoke .. Dont throw garbage in water ways ..

There is no sense on making people stop using incandescent lightbulbs (replaced by the more expensive and toxic low consumption bulbs) or stopping you from getting plastic bags on the supermarket, if, at same time, a company/factory in one month can contaminate the water and the air much more than a full city in a year.

First control the factories, they are responsible for biggest contamination, then, go for the people.

We need to plant trees. There is too much CO2 in the atmosphere, but the more trees we plant the more CO2 will be removed (absorbed) by the trees and replaced with oxygen.

in my opininon, theres many way to do that:
1.  including improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel economy (so less energy has to be produced), and increases in wind and solar power, hydrogen produced from renewable sources, biofuels (produced from crops), natural gas, and nuclear power. There is also the potential to capture the carbon dioxide emitted from fossil fuels and store it underground.
2.  Plant trees.  Trees take up CO2.  The numbers actually work out.  To offset anthropogenic carbon emissions, it is something like 1.4 trillion trees that would have to be planted every year.
3.Use a lot of plant-based plastic.  If packaging can be made from plant-based plastic, that is an easy way to sequester carbon.  The big caveat is to use plant oils from plants which are not also food sources, since the extra economic demand could upset the global food economy.  Water for the agricultural production of the oil crop may be an issue.
4.etc

This problem will be the major problem in the future. People nowadays don't have care anymore to the environment. Solution is in ourselves first. We must be responsible person as we live here in the earth, being responsible is easy. We need to know what is wrong and what is right to our environment. Even some basic segregating of garbage still can't do of some people.

Plant many trees, discipline in throwing garbage in other areas
And thats the best solution in global warming problem.

The planet will take care of itself.

Global warming will increase until a good percentage of humanity dies.

Then it will decrease. 

This shit is already starting. Just look at mexico and florida and texas and PR

it's way too late, already happening. Unless human race cooperates to fight this global warming then we might have a chance.

all problems in nature and including those associated with air and water pollution ... a clean planet would not give such disruptions

The solution starts in every individual. Each and everyone of us are liable in every changes that our world is becoming right now. From our individual home to the community that we lived in, its our responsibility to take care and be careful of everything that we do especially to the environment. Doing simple things like throwing our garbage properly and appropriately. Garbage segragation and control of using plastic materials. Energy saving by controlling our electricity consumption. It always starts within us.. at home and at work. It takes you and me to deal with this global warming. If I can do it, then you can do it. And we can do it all. Otherwise, we will suffer. Let's take care mother earth and she will take care us back.
