Here's a list a list of anti-greenhouse measures, in order of effectiveness, as presented to an international meeting last month:
Some people find this list an exciting challenge. Others think it sounds like Exercise Properly, Get Enough Sleep, Floss Your Teeth. We know our lives would be better if we did these things, but somehow there's a barrier of habit to get over -- we'd really rather not think about it.
People will never change their comfortable little self-destructive habits, some say. Let's talk about adapting to climate change; we'll never prevent it.
I'm not willing to be that fatalistic. I believe in good old self-serving human rationality. I think that anyone, however lazy or greedy, who looks at the full costs and benefits of preventing climate change, as opposed to enduring it, will see that there is no better payoff on the planet than greenhouse prevention.
At least the first few steps could be trivially easy.
WHO should lead the way? Governments? Individuals? The only possible answer is both, with the realization that in democracies the people are always out in front. And there's plenty we can do. The Greenhouse Crisis Foundation has come out with a list of 101 things YOU can do to stop global climate change. You can imagine what's on it.
It may sound like Eat Balanced Meals, Don't Smoke, and Balance Your Checkbook, and in a way it is -- it's what adult people need to do, as an unremarkable matter of habit, to make their lives and their planet work. As Winston Churchill once said, "Sometimes you have to do what is required."
Or as Buckminster Fuller used to say, it's time to grow up. The human race has been like a bird in the egg, supplied with an abundance of nutrient, and an unpolluted space into which to develop -- to a certain point. We've exhausted the nutrient and the space. "We are going to have to spread our wings of intellect and fly, or perish."
its us...we can help stop the global warming..,
There are thousands of slogans that are available for stopping global warming. Some of these slogans include "Global Warming: We have a solution, stop pollution" and "Penguins are on Thin Ice: Stop Global Warming".
The consequences might be that we do manage to stop, or at least slow global warming. But if we don't try, then global warming definitely won't stop.
2012 we really don't know when global warming will stop but we hope soon
Countries and their citizens are trying to slow and maybe even stop global warming. This is the only thing that will help polar bears.
