What are ways to decrease the greenhouse effect?

Answer 1

There are two types of the greenhouse effect: the naturaland the man-made.

The earth has always had a greenhouse effect. The natural carbon and water cycles support a greenhouse effect in the atmosphere where just enough of the sun's heat is kept back so that life can go on comfortably.

Two hundred years ago we started digging up and burning fossil fuels (for industry, transport and to make electricity). Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas releases all the carbon dioxide that had been hidden underground for millions of years. We also cut down the great forests of the earth, which can take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, to slow it down.

These two things, burning fossil fuels and deforestation are disrupting the normal greenhouse effect, which is now becoming an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by man.

The greenhouse effect you are probably talking about is the man-made one, the bad one. Now, how are we to prevent this enhanced greenhouse effect, which is the cause of global warming.

We have to stop burning fossil fuels, and we have to reverse deforestation.

We can do this by:

• Finding other ways of generating electricity, like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, biofuels, tide and wave energy
• Finding other ways of powering our transport
• Stop cutting down trees and plant millions more.

Smaller things we can do to help:

• Walk, ride your bicycle, or take the bus instead of always going by car.
• Don't waste electricity (turn off the lights, the radio, the TV and the computer when you're not using them).
• Reduce, reuse or recycle all kinds of items, from soda pop cans to clothes, to save energy and raw materials.
• Plant trees to help absorb excess CO2, and to provide shade and windbreaks to keep buildings at more even temperatures so they will require less energy for heating or cooling.

A:Recycle, reduce, stop burning coal, drive and fly less, reduce greenhouse gases, and reduce our/people's carbon dioxide level.

Answer 2

To decrease the greenhouse effect, consider reducing carbon emissions by using renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency, promoting public transportation, planting more trees for carbon sequestration, and supporting policies that promote sustainable practices. These actions can help mitigate the impact of greenhouse gases on the environment.

Answer 3

The normal, natural greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere. If the greenhouse effect is prevented, the Earth will freeze solid, and all life on Earth will die.

However, we now have an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. We are doing this largely by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

We can prevent this enhanced greenhouse effect by:

• Changing to renewable energy
• Stopping all burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)
• replant and nurture billions of trees.

Answer 4

The ordinary greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm, and has done for millions of years.

The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect is now being caused by our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). The only way to control this is to stop using fossil fuels. We need energy (electricity) for modern civilization, so he have to move quickly to renewable energy, which releases no carbon dioxide emissions.

Answer 5

When we drive a car, we use petrol or diesel fuel, creating carbon dioxide emission which help warm the atmosphere. When we cook or use electric appliances we also contribute to global warming because the electricity we use is often generated by burning coal or oil. This does not mean we should stop driving or using any electricity, but it does mean we should be more prudent in how much fossil fuel we are responsible for using.

We could consider driving a smaller car, or using public transport more often. Some of us could walk rather than drive to the shops, or use a bicycle for some trips. We could replace incandescent light globes by high-efficiency ones. We should turn off appliances when not in use. It is certainly possible to reduce our contribution to global warming without sacrificing our high standard of living.

We can lobby the government to do more. To commit to greater carbon emission reduction targets. To mandate greater use of renewable resources for electricity generation. To implement an effective carbon pricing scheme, to encourage businesses to move to higher fuel efficiencies. To improve public transport services, making them more attractive for us to use.

Answer 6

stop farting, smoking, driving, which means just have sex
we stop burning fossil fuels as much and maybe car pool since how cars and fossil fuels give of carbon dioxide

gas, the main cause of the green house effect

Answer 7

The enhanced greenhouse effect can be reduced if we lower the levels of greenhouse gases in the air. Changing to renewable energy instead of fossil fuels would be the best way. Planting billions of trees across the world would also help. (To stop the enhanced greenhouse effect, as the question asks, will take hundreds of years and serious action now!)

Answer 8

To stop the natural greenhouse effect we have to remove every molecule of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and dozens of other gases from the atmosphere. This would make the earth too cold for human life.

To stop the accelerated greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming, we have to reduce, or reverse, the amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) that we are adding to the atmosphere, largely by burning fossil fuels. We also have to replant forests all over the world to replace the ones we have destroyed.

Answer 9

There are some solutions. We have to decrease Emission of CO2.
