How might taking a bus instead of driving a car help ease global warming?

A bus can carry many more people than a car, so the amount of Carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by the burning gasoline or diesel is much less per person. This eases global warming a little.

Is there someone that can save the world from Global Warming?
No. To save the world from global warming then all countries have to act. Regular climate conferences are already taking place but have not been successful in uniting every country to act. Governments have to act, and all individuals have to act.
When did Al Gore first start global warming?
Al Gore didn't start global warming. Global warming started when man began to burn fossil fuels that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, about 1750. Al Gore has been influential in educating people about the dangers of global warming.
What is global warming and how do automobiles contribute to global warming?
Global warming is the way the world is rapidly warming. It happens when the pollution and gases including those from automobiles rise into the atmosphere and add to the greenhouse gases there. The greenhouse gases capture the sun's heat. This makes the earth's temperature rise, melting the polar ice caps, which unbalances the distribution of salt and water in the sea from the increase of water from the melted ice. The sea is the main 'station' for our weather, and having high temperatures and unbalanced water level in the sea will show a dramatic increase in the strength of natural disasters, including hurricanes and cyclones. So try to walk or take a bus as much as possible instead of taking a car, use less electricity and gas based fires to reduce the amount of harmful toxins you are releasing into the air.
Is geothermal good for the earth?
NO! Taking the heat from the Earth is helping the sub surface cool at a faster rate. You might be thinking well then how is global warming happening? The atmosphere is warming up but the sub surface is cooling. We are finding more and more ways to help drive the earth to its grave.
How does planting trees minimize global warming?
Trees use the carbon dioxide in the air to grow. And that reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, which reduces the green house effect. They need Carbon Dioxide in order to photosynthesize. Since CO2 is the leading contributor to global warming, having the trees take it out of the atmosphere to be converted into oxygen, slows the process somewhat.
How is global warming not taking place?
Global Warming is taking place right now.
What information can ice hold to help in the research of global warming?
It helps to see how fast global warming its taking its affect on earth and its o zone layer.
What is the most significant environmental change that is taking place today?
Global warming
What steps are people taking to reduce their carbon footprints and global warming?
by burning fossil fuels
Why does the global warming happens?
all the carbon dioxide is taking the warmth in the sky and saving it thrugh out the year.
What do humans take from polar bears?
We as humans are taking ice away from the Arctic because of global warming and pollution.
What helps a killer whale to survive?
Not Spilling Oil On Them. and By not hunting them for meat. and by not taking all their fish and by not causing global warming
What is reason deforestation does not cause global warming?
Deforestation does contribute to global warming, so it actually is one reason for global warming. Taking down immense forests does not allow the planet to control its Carbon Dioxide levels which in turn leaves more green house gases in the atmosphere. This of course traps heat which then warms the planet, but that is only a piece of the puzzle that is climate change.
Is there someone that can save the world from Global Warming?
No. To save the world from global warming then all countries have to act. Regular climate conferences are already taking place but have not been successful in uniting every country to act. Governments have to act, and all individuals have to act.
Why do people need to take a driving permit test instead of taking driving tests right away?
People need to get a driving permit before taking the test, because it permits them to operate a vehicle, get more practice driving, prior to taking the test.
How does logging and cutting down trees affect global warming in Los Angeles?
Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air. They store the carbon and release the oxygen. They do this during all the time they are growing. Logging and cutting down trees means they are not taking carbon dioxide from the air. Because carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas causing global warming, cutting down trees increases the warming. Global warming means 'all over the world'. So cutting down trees in Indonesia will affect the warming in Los Angeles. Cutting down trees in Los Angeles will affect global warming in Djakarta.
How can you have a slim thigh?
Walk instead of driving; climb stairs instead of taking elevators or escalators. Eat less.
