Slowing down and eventually stopping global warming is a long and difficult process that must involve all of us, not just the governments of the world. Nevertheless, some governments have made some tentative steps towards solving the problem. The European Union has implemented a carbon trading scheme that is expected to encourage businesses to move to a low carbon economy. Britain has gone much further and is expected to reduce its greenhouse gas emission quite substantially over the next few years. The Australian government has encouraged the installation of domestic solar hot water systems, solar power cells and home insulation, as well as phasing out the sale of incandescent light bulbs, encouraged households to look for an efficiency rating when purchasing new appliances, and has proposed a carbon tax.
The governments of the world have not yet stopped global warming, but some are willing to take the initiative in moving towards that solution.

Yes, we have known about global warming since about the middle of last century, but governments have been slow to act.

Now, as global warming and its effects are beginning to be more obvious governments may act.
