Simple, just ask All Governments and All Multinational Corporations - "When are You going to Realize The Calamitous Extent of Our Situation - ".
- Stop burning fossil fuel.
- Start planting trees again.

∙ 10y agoThe carbon cycle moves carbon dioxide in and out of the atmosphere, and has kept it in balance for millions of years. It would still be in balance if we had not discovered coal and oil and started burning these in industry, transport and to generate electricity. This burning releases carbon dioxide.
Humans can stop the production of these anthropogenic greenhouse gases by changing from fossil fuel energy (burning coal and oil) and moving to renewable sources of energy (solar, geothermal, biomass, wind etc, that do not have carbon dioxide emissions).
By changing some agricultural practices we can reduce the amount of methane added to the atmosphere. There are already schemes in pig and cattle farms that capture methane from the animal manure. Scientists are also experimenting with different cattle feeds to try and reduce methane belch from cows and other ruminants.

Do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reduce holes in the ozone shield?
No, greenhouse gases do not reduce the hole. In the contrary, they increase the size of the hole.
Are greenhouse gases disappearing?
no, they are currently accumulating in the atmosphere as more are being released than absorbed by the earth.
What are the objective of greenhouse technology?
Greenhouse technology is a rising industry worldwide. The aim of this technology is to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
What has to reduce to solve the problem of global warming?
We have to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane, the greenhouse gases, into the atmosphere.
How can you reduce the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Afforestation. The only way is to plant more trees.
Why will catalytic converters not help to solve the problem of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
because they do not help to reduce the amount of co2 in the atmosphere
What is the purpose of reducing greenhouse gases?
If we don't reduce the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere the earth will get warmer and warmer. Greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat. Whenever we burn fossil fuels, that is, for transport or to produce electricity, we are adding more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is what is causing global warming.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What contains the greenhouse gases?
Our Atmosphere.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
