Reduce Global Warming

900 Pledges
  • Start Date:

  • Last Pledge:
    10-10-2009

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.

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.

VEry true! Nicely said!

so true... its good to see something like this is being promoted...Smile

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...

 

...LETZ CONSERVE ENERGY..!!!!HEPHEP HORAY!!
Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.

The effects of forcing agents on the climate are complicated by various feedback processes.

One of the most pronounced feedback effects relates to the evaporation of water. In the case of warming by the addition of long-lived greenhouse gases such as CO2, the initial warming will cause more water to be evaporated into the atmosphere. Since water vapor itself acts as a greenhouse gas, this causes still more warming; the warming causes more water vapor to be evaporated, and so forth until a new dynamic equilibrium concentration of water vapor is reached with a much larger greenhouse effect than that due to CO2 alone. (Although this feedback process involves an increase in the absolute moisture content of the air, the relative humidity stays nearly constant or even decreases slightly because the air is warmer.

Use only what is necessary, and tell a friend.  If not for us, but for the children and future children of the world. 

save the world frm global warming,,all of us need to plant a tree,, and please not use to much air con,,and please tell this to ur friends,, 

they said the global warming is caused by the american and europian, I think it is caused by my city. they cut all the trees, they ride their vehicles and cause a lot of smoke, they even throw they rubbish everywhere. This is a goddamned city for me where everyday is hell. And I'm sure, the people here in Indonesia really don't care about the issue of global warming.
global average air temperature near the earth surface rose during last 100 yearsSurprised

please save the world from global warming...........
Global warming is ALL politcal B.S.

I try to be responsible and practice all of the points mentioned in the pledge daily. I also pass this responsibility on to my children by having them go to the recycling center with me whenever possible. I am a product of Woodsy Owl "Give a Hoot don't Pollute"

 

For recycling stuff, you can join the FreeCycle Group on Yahoo.  It's a place to swap stuff with locals.  You sign up by county.
