What should we do now?Global warming is getting faster and faster. email this discussion to a friend?

helenstamina (21)10 months ago

Scientists from The United Nations' concluded that our earth is warming at an ever faster pace. Global warming commits the world to an average rise in sea leavels of up to 4.6 feet.The experts warned Saturday in their most authoritative report to date. The U.N warned that "Only urgent, global action will do", because the effects are "so severe and so sweeping that only urgent global action will do. We are all in this together. We must work together."
In my opinion, not noly the government, but everyone of ourself should take action to join in slowing down the pace of global warming. I will try to persuade the people around me try to use solar engergy and change the gasoline used by their vehicles to other fuels which emit less carbon dioxide.

Yes i think gloabl warming is becoming one of the world's gretaest worries and I think something has to be done very fast otherwise this world will become a hell to stay.

I agree with you. In my country, some ordinary people even the local governments are ignoring the climate change due to the people activities. The most important thing is to make them alert to the declining environment!

The major role to be played in the reduction of global warming is the ordinary people.Governments and various organisations can only suggest ways to reduce it.Its upto us to follow these procedures.We are not doing it for some one else,Its for saving our own planet.We all contribute to global warming, so following some simple things as given below can go a long way in reducing this effect.

1.switch off lights when not in use.
2.dont keep elecronic items in standby mode as they take up 85% power even when not in use.
3.use public transport system often
4.use boats and trains as planes generate more co2.
5.switch off the computer monitor when not in use for some time.

These are just a few.Its upto you to follow it and be part of the people who save the planet or be the reason of its destruction.THE CHOICE IS YOURS FRIENDS.

Hi, navincip123, thank you for sharing your these procedures to us. I will try to and persuade the people around me to take action every day.

Right friends, we have to find out alternate energy to combat pollution level. Let me share with you some remedial action
"As the dangers attendant on the use of fossil fuels become obvious, there is a growing interest in alternative sources of energy. The nuclear lobby is trying to take advantage of this, but hopefully the pollution, the risks, the waste disposal and decommissioning problems and costs are becoming too obvious for them to succeed (but some scientists are even more concerned about the dangers of global warming). Wind, tidal, solar, biomass, geothermal, hydro sources all have their advantages and disadvantages.

Wind farms in barren, exposed, isolated areas can make a valuable contribution to the national grid, and, in suitable locations, windmills can be used as local power sources as they were in the pre-industrial age. However, surely no one would wish to see large areas of countryside overtaken by wind farms. Pylons are unsightly enough. There is such a nuisance as visual pollution. The noise from large wind farms can also make them unacceptable.

Solar energy contrivances offer excellent alternatives to fossil fuel use, especially in the tropics, but, as Schumacher wrote, "a most marvellous contrivance already exists, more wonderful than anything that Man can make - the TREE!".

Fuel wood is still the energy source of most of the world's people, but, in many areas, the forests are not being replanted and demands are outstripping natural regeneration. Wood should be burned in stoves designed for maximum economy and minimum pollution. Their use is now spreading, but not quickly enough. Only wood not suitable for other purposes should be burned or processed into gas, electricity and liquid fuel. Plants, especially trees, will be the only source of the latter when fossil fuels are all use up. Wood gives off no more CO2 than the trees took in."

save fuel, avoid pollution,grow trees and save the world.

i am really getting worried about the life in this world. i feel that life is getting harder everyday. we hear so many news about global warming and its effects and the worse of it is that we are actually experiencing it now those bad effect of global warming. i really believe that this is really a serous problem to our world. i iwll hopefully wish that this thing will change. ii wish that the expert will be able to provide some lasting solutinos to the dilemna that we are in. with all the terrorism in the world, we have a global warming that is adding to the problems to the world and to our life. i really like to pray for the situation that we are now. and that we are able to pray for some solutions from all of our problems. hopefully that we are able to stop this global warming. i want to know if there are things that we can do so that we ar e able to stop this global warming. i believe this global warming are really serious. hopefully that every people will contribute in saving the environment.

Thank you for sharing the feeling about global warming. Everyone is important in protecting the world. Some environmental problems are too serious and widespread to solve them in a short period. What we are counting on is the effective scientific methods to reduce the pollution and ameliorate the situaton.

i did saw in the news about global warming, i think i saw al gore is involved in discussion about the global warming. i agree that we need to help in preventing global warming. be more active rather than passive. we can help by doing car pool with friends rather driving another car. dispose waste properly, recycle if needed. we need to preserve the earth for the next generation of people.


myLot reputation of 92/100. sara03 (1553)  10 months ago

Right friend Algore got shard Nobel Prize for his work.
We need to conserve our green forests and fauna. We have to restrict usage of fuel oils. Find altrnate source of energy and avoid unwanted gas emmissions which pollute the air.
nice day

Good and apt discussion friend and it is the need of the day. We must contribute to this by conserving energy, develop alternate source for fuel,clear toxic wastes, Growing more trees and reduce pollution levels.
I am sharing an interesting reading on this.
"It is generally agreed that remedial action will involve energy conservation and efficiency, the saving and extension of the forest, and the promotion of alternatives to fossil fuels. What needs to be emphasised is that all these measures are urgently necessary regardless of any relevance to global warming. Their implementation will bring great advantages even in the unlikely event that warnings about climate change are falsely based. Opposition may be coming from narrow vested interests seeking public support. It needs to be overcome by well-informed people willing to make necessary changes in their lifestyles.

CONSERVATION AND EFFICIENCY

The chief danger at present, as regards global warming, is considered to be the build up in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels and the destruction of the tropical forests.

Fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource, yet much of them are wasted in inefficient practices and apparatus. Moreover, they are often used in the manufacture of unnecessary products that also uses up other precious resources. In a world of rapidly increasing populations, where millions go short of bare necessities, this is completely unjustifiable.

It must also be remembered that fossil fuel burning releases pollutants that damage life.

Necessary reforms may well involve loss of profits in the short term by industrial concerns, but in the long term bring even monetary benefits, except to the coal industry and the oil magnates for whose products there will be slower demand.

The effects of checking waste and pollution in the industrially developed world could be nullified by industrial development in the Third World. We must stop encouraging and funding unnecessary industrial development. Non-renewable resources must be used only to meet genuine need, not to manufacture luxuries and trivialities, and not in unnecessary travel. We must give a lead in simplifying lifestyles, and demonstrate that such simplification does not mean deprivation but more creative and fulfilling living."

Protect our globe and make it green.

I have a completely different and unpopular take on this. Personally I don't think the issue of Global Warming is nearly as bad as we think it is. The earth goes through natural changes. It has had Ice Ages and times where it was very warm. How were those things accounted for? I do believe we need to try to fight pollution and find alternative fuels or whatever else we can do to make the quality of life better for us and more healthy. In the long run, though, the earth wasn't put here just for people. Eventually it is natural for the earth to turn as it has many times, and that change may not be the best thing for human life. Again, we aren't the only living beings that this earth supports, though.

yes,we need harmonization .When the human cooperate together,i think the power must conquer the serious problem.But it's pity that the war is also exist.Why can't we cooperate?Why doesn't the human would wake up until the problem happen and serious exist.
Until then,i doult that the scientists isn't a selfish person.0
