Global warming is a local issue because the solution has to start with us as individuals and in our communities. We need to reduce our use of electricity and motor fuel, in order to help reduce the world's carbon dioxide emissions. We can take action by, for example, replacing incandescent light bulbs with high efficiency ones, by turning off appliances when not in use and by using air conditioning and home heating more sparingly.
Global warming is an international issue because all governments must get together to identify and agree on urgent action to change to a carbon-neutral world economy. The time is past for free-riding and asking other countries to reduce their emissions "before" we do.

How does global warming affect New York?
Great question! Global warming problems certainly did appear in that area. Roving blackouts and heat exhaustion were the prevailing issues. We need to ask, why is this the case! One answer lies in an issue call heat islands. We have seen much high local temperature rises in cities and other developed areas. The reason is the increased amount of cement and tar in these areas. The dark colors used on roofs and the massive increase in air handlers has also been an issue for local heat events. In 1976 air conditioning was a rare luxury. Today even the poorest among us have units. These expel massive amounts of heat and consume energy. Want to do something to make a cooler temp in your area? Build your home with a white roof (Increased albedo effect). Turn off your air conditioner and use less fuel.

Why doesn't California make tourism illegal since it contributes to global warming?
Tourism contributes to global warming, yes, but if the tourists stayed at home, they would still be contributing to global warming by using electricity, transport, heating, and all the other ways we contribute to global warming.
