Issue:

ALL 10 OF THE HOTTEST YEARS ON RECORD GLOBALLY HAVE OCCURRED IN THE LAST 15 YEARS!

Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Belief:

You can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels, which in turn reduces global warming, by using energy more wisely. Here are simple actions you can take to help reduce global warming.

Forum Discussion for Reduce Global Warming

There is one planet and we have to live on it. So I encourage everyone to do anything they can to help prevent global warming by the examples given on this page. If we want to live a long and safe life, then let's start saving the world.

lol

Global Warming is left wing propaganda. Don't buy into it. Green Policies will ruin the economy. It's a natural process. And "An Inconvenient Truth" has flawed research from someone who still whines after being fairly defeated. If you wanna live like cavemen, be my guest.

watchin a inconvenient truth really opened my eyes the data was really scary and shocking. the government should watch it and pay attention for once in their life.

Global warming could be a natural phenomenon but it s highly increasing since industrialisation ! I agree that mother Earth will always find a way to save life, like it always was the case millions years before.So governments should pay attention, it s our only house and she's burning !! let s act now !!

hmmmm., it's really getting hot around the globe ,. please watch the "An Inconvenient Truth" ,. and you will understand a lot., let's get to work now., we must take actions now., as in right now!! we are the only ones who can save ourselves., haaha!,. it's the mere fact!

Leave your car in favour of locomotive. Better still go for electric car. For short distances hop on a bicycle. that would bring double benefit, health to the rider and health to the globe. Anyway, the fossil fuel is not going to last for eternity. The scientists should scratch their head and go for cheaper and viable technology to harness Sun's energy, which is the only way out to survive and save the ground beneath us.

i believe the earth will be just fine ,mother nature is unbatable, god isnt going to let things get so bad that we have to move to another world although it mite be cool

If god existed and he was as good as christians say he is, he wouldnt have let it come as far as it already has.
This is our fault(satan didnt tell us to do it) We got ourselves into this mess, and we alone have to get out of it!Sorry for breaking it to you, but you are waiting for a salvation that will never come..

They have proof about global warming Zach you idiot and you see in four years the stars will be alligned causing it to be hotter our ice caps will melt and our ocean level will rise so while your destroying our earth people will be dying and it is not just the government because all countries are aware of it a lot are doing stuff to stop global warming but not America because of people like YOU so stop and look at what is happening.

ok, you believe there is proof, i'm not saying the world's average temperture isn't rising, but i'm saying that it is in fact a global trend that the earth goes through over several thousand years.
Also, the fact that you called me an idiot and are pointing me out as a problem shows me that you are a radical. First of all, come on, sure you have your right to say what you want about the environment, but you don't have to a jerk while doing it. I didn't point anyone out. I'll give you a lesson right now, if you aren't up in someones face, trashing their ideas, they are a whole lot more likely to listen, you might want to right that down.

Global warming is only a theory. It is a theory that the government uses to try and get people worried and behind the government. It is a Democratic strategy. Republicans on the other hand do not support the global warming campaign because they don't want the government to have any more power among the people. Global warming, if anyone reads about history in the early 1000's to 1400's. Places like England and Ireland, which are very temperate climates today and do not have a large amount of agriculture were able to grow grapes, a more tropical fruit. This shows that from then till the now, the climate has always been changing, because let me tell you, I have been to England and Ireland, and there are no grapes or anything like that. It's a shift over 1500 or so years, not because we have increased CO2 levels.

Now let me tell you about biodiesel. It claims that it is cleaner for the air, but the dirty secret is, it is not as clean as every thinks it is. For one thing, biodiesel promotes inflation in the feed market for animal growers. Next, when making things like ethanol, people don't realize that the product of the distilling process is a 3 part product. The three products that are received from the process are ethanol, DDGS, and CO2. These products come out in the same proportionate amounts. What DDGS are is Dried Distiller's Grains. The producers of biofuel claim that these are a good substitute for feed, but they are not. I work in a feed mill lab and have done studying and testing on DDGS and they are very unsafe for animal consumption. They don't meet the energy/calorie levels needed, plus they are wrought with dangerous toxins, such as aflotoxins, vomitoxins, V2 toxins, etc. Also, ofcourse there are large amounts of CO2 entering the atmosphere because of this process. So for those who want to stop global warming with biodiesel, reevaluate your plans. biofuels are not as environmentally friendly as everyone thinks

We do as much as we can, but I know we could do more. We have got to do our part because our world is suffering so much. Have any of you seen the documentary about how the North Pole is melting faster and faster? TiVo the subject if you haven't. And that's just ONE example!

What about H2S Hydrogen Sulfide, have you been by any landfills lately? Rice patty fields, farms, methane can kill in heavy concentrations, Worse yet H2S. 4 people in Wisconsin recnetly died beacuase of H2S what can we do?

It's truly a shame how gullible the majority of the world is that they really think cars and factories are changing the world's environment. Like Kieth W. says below, there is a HUGE amount of money to be made from these lies. On a sidenote I used to think the Nobel Prize was something of importance until Al Gore won it for his movie...Keith, it's nice to see I'm not the only sane person out there because sometimes I sure wonder.

hmm try BIO diesel yaya

Far and away largest greenhouse gas is water vapour. Next is Methane, farted out by cattle to the extent of some 45,000,000 tons per annum; it is about 20 times as effective as CO2.  The grand total of "man-made" CO2 is only 3.5% of the whole, animals breething provides a big lot too.  A very big BUT however, there is very big money to be made all over the world by CO2 propaganda.

I do not think that any harm will come to the planet from this scam, but global warming inevitable due to increased solar activity as anyone can see from a brief glance at the sun.  No matter what mankind does, global warming is inevitable; we would be far better off in preparing for it.; we most certainly cannot do anything to prevent it.

All through the life of the planet, highest amounts of CO2 come about 800 years AFTER a perfectly natural global warming.

One thing that I have found that even they are expensive it's good to replace all the lightbulbs in your house with low wattage.  It is pretty expensive, but it's a one time expense.  Your electricity bill will be significally reduced and the new bulbs last forever.  You don't have to change them.  Well at least I haven't had to change one yet and it's more than two years.  Light bulbs are difficult to recycle and since they don't have to be replaced long lasting bulbs also helps reduce wasteage of materials or natural resources 

Please help us STOP big business from Gutting OUR Mountains in Kentucky and Appalachia.  You can help by being carful who you vote for.  You can help by becoming a memeber of Kentuckians for the Commonwealth.  It cost nothing to join AND you don't have to live in Kentucky!  We would appreciate it if you liked Kentucky. 

Thanks

I do live in Kentucky, but I AM NOT a member of the Kentuckians for the Commonwealth. I believe in being environmentally smart, but I am not a "Tree Hugger". You want to stop all coal mining without realizing the repercussions. When your electricity goes off, how long does it take you to call to report it. Without coal, this nation would loose 50% of its electricity generation. Are you willing to go without to support your cause? I believe in using our natural resources (Coal). It was put here for a reason.

We have found it at Americasgoodwill.net Please vist this site. Finally action not words.

ARG, hi, im 15, and yeah, i live in a small city, and we already have alot of green house gases because of irving, and they're building a new one, it pisses me off so bad, cant they see how they're doing something bad? If you guys read uglies/pretties/specials, they're in the world where they live after us, and we dies because we were all so stupid, and we were destorying th planet, well, im sarting t think thats actually what we're doing. Read the book from Al Gore(LOVE HIM!!!) and you'll know what i mean...ppl getting killed by heat and stuff, and all the refinery can do about it is make more trouble, cant believe them!

its difficult but i pray people wake up n work up since theres nothin left to think for an action

i think the global warming are very dengerous 

great work u guys......

I've been living in Scandinavia (Sweden) where recycling, lower gas emissions, responsible logging (by regularly planting new trees in place of those taken down), etc. have been a way of life for a very long time now. It's just unfortunate that the European efforts to globalize cooperation against global warming have been met with resistance from other nations who are some of the world's largest polluters. I just hope that these countries, specially the superpowers, realize that no amount of military,  technological, and economic superiority can stop the eventual onslaught of Nature when it strikes back in accordance with how poorly we have treated it. For we may suddenly find out that we humans are not at the top of the food chain after all.....

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, but borrow it from our children.

so true... its good to see something like this is being promoted...even a few software companies i know are taking some good measures ... like using less paper....to alllll those whose seee this...keep up the good work...
