I feel ‘Better never than late’. Even if we start now, we might not be able to reverse the damage. but we can still delay the consequences. We should all follow all the practices required to save our nature.

Even with an initiative for fuel efficient driving, the various car companies have started coming with the fuel efficient technologies that can help the drivers to drive efficiently by saving fuel. Not just this, We will soon be able to convert our current car into hybrid car. No need to buy a new one See this : http://www.carkorner.com/news/2013/03/05/go-green-with-your-existing-cars/

While all of these things are a good start, earthlings will never be able to get it together to stop global warming unless they are forced to at the point of a gun. Automobile manufacturers must be forced to stop producing gas guzzling gas pig vehicles. All logging should be halted. Airline flights for individuals should be restricted to one flight per year. All cruise ships should be banned. All big pleasure boats should be banned. All 2 cycle engines should be banned. All transport trucks banned and goods should be sent by rail as before. These are just a few things and the economy will be seriously affected.
And how could we ever make other countries do the same except by force?
In other words, humanity is doomed. If man made global warming is real, then we are witnessing an extinction event. Unless there are other factors we do not forsee it appears to be over for us as a species.
Perhaps some hardy souls will survive somehow and the story of Adam and Eve will begin again.The earth will eventually return to normal I would think.
It was a good ride but as with all things, everything come to an end, including us.

Here’s the answer. Flood Lake Eyre, Gardner and other inland Australian lakes with sea water. This could easily be done as they are below sea level and are natural drainage areas. (They are already salt lakes so don’t worry about the environment) This would create a water surface area of some two thousand square kilometres. Hot winds traveling over these surfaces will be cooled. In addition there will be considerable evaporation and this moisture will be blown against the Great Divide and Mount Lofty Ranges where it will hopefully create orographic rainfall. Statistics indicate this is what happens when Lake Eyre is full. So let’s assist nature and keep the water cycle moving.

Look guys, God doesn’t control the weather, humans created the exaggerated effects of global warming. If you believe in God, good 4 u but personally he doesn’t exist. Just humans.

Guys this what we are doing to our earth and atmosphere can’t be stopped,individual or smaller group/organization can’t do anything to slow down global warming.You cant change the life style of man in 21st century and you shouldn’t worry about it cause consequences will be clearly visible for I assume around 80 years and then we will all who are reading this right now,this article will be dead or with one leg in grave!

we can help the earth recover to a degree , ie stop fllooding by the sea ,produce free electricity , more trees, food ect,,,, there are a posible 30 ist sites over the world that iv located , intrested ,,,, the earth is a vauble tool not a bit of rubish to be used up before its time, yes it will cost to sort this out, but the benifits are we have a world to live in…

The change in global climate, according to scientific consensus, is a result of cumulative carbon pollution over the past 200 years, or since the Industrial Revolution began. There has been an escalation of this pollution in the past 20 – 40 years due to increased population and industrial activity.
The first goal is to reduce carbon emissions. If we can do this, there should be a commensurate decrease in the accelerating rate of climate change. But there is no evidence that this alone will reverse the damage incurred. There are a host of geoengineering schemes which hope to reverse the effects of climate change but these are untested and unproven.
The best strategy we have to address climate change is to reduce carbon emissions.

The question I have is: Is there a way to reverse the damage that’s already been done? Now I know global climate change is a natural process, but this process has obviously been sped up with the amount of pollution we’ve put in the atmosphere over the last 20 years or so. If we were to stop polluting so much, would the atmosphere go back to the way it was? Or would it just keep things from getting worse?

I dont think it is arrogant at all. God gave us free will, if we choose to destroy our planet then we will reap the consequences

WE ARE EMITTING TOO MUCH CARBON DIOXIDE PEOPLE!!!!!!

Wow so right. think scale – lawn edging will save 50-80% of time using strimmer, when you think about all america or world that can be massive- reduce of engine hours, smoke fuel noise etc.

Wow,
the things is we do not always think about all these things. For example lawn edging use around the world. I mean, that can reduce the use of strimmers in 60-80% – think how many engine hours is that- all around the Us or around the world.
When thinking about any of these, on large scale – it may save a lot of energy, smoke etc.

In the last few years I decided to do something about it,
So I manufactured few ”solutions ” like that to assist growing more local
and easy and green.

So we have raised beds in the front garden in several shapes, digging potatoes with my daughters was so much fun too- as opposed to buy potatoes that traveled miles .

All you crazy nuts who think god is controlling the weather are unbelievably wrong. Honestly, what is the world coming to???????
