How can you stop glaciers melting from global warming?

Answer 1

• The rising sea levels are due to global warming. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, is the only answer.
• This can be done by massive reforestation and
• Changing to renewable energy (clean, free and non-polluting).

Answer 2

The only way to stop glaciers melting is to stop global warming, and that has to be done in the big polluting countries of China and the USA. We have to move to renewable energy, so we can stop burning coal and oil for our power. That's the only answer.

Answer 3

The prevention of rising sea levels would require international cooperation to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and to restore forests, which serve as carbon sinks, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

If global warming is not prevented and the ice caps and glaciers melt, it would be impractical to attempt to protect every coastal city in the world with sea walls. When the ice caps and glaciers completely melt, sea levels would rise by more than 70 meters (twice the height of the worst of Japan's recent tsunami). This would inundate cities inhabited by about three-fourths of the world's population.

Answer 4

Stop global warming. Seas are rising because land ice (glaciers and ice caps) are melting. We can stop global warming by getting governments to

• put a price on carbon emissions,
• close down fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) power stations,
• change to renewable energy, and
• replant the great forests of the world.
  

Answer 5

The only way to stop sea levels from continuing to rise is to stop global warming. And the only practicable way to stop global warming is to stop using fossil fuels, mainly coal and oil.

Answer 6

To stop melting glaciers you must stop global warming.
