Local level:
- Make personal changes to reduce use of electricity and fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
- Educate family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, and schoolmates on the matter.
- Lobby local politicians to make sustainable choices for energy production, renewable energy, reforestation, etc.
Large Scale:
- Stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
- Move immediately to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
- Replant billions of trees.

How do humans contribute to climate change not including global warming?
Humans are contributing to global warming (by burning fossil fuel and cutting down forests) and global warming is CAUSING climate change.
Global warming and climate change did you start it?
It is a valid theory that humans started global warming through the expansion of concrete surfaces, cutting down of forests, eradication of wetlands, the use of fossil fuels, and automobiles which pump out global warming gases have all contributed to global warming and climate change.
Species responsible for climate change?
Humans
Who or what has caused global warming and climate change?
humans have caused the rise in climate change. that is because of all the emissions we are sending out in our fuels and energy supplies. It should be remembered that climate change is a natural phenomena. Certainly mankind has an impact but the phrase 'global warming' is now a slogan being taken over by environmentalists to promote their own views. There are many, many books and reports that contradict each other as to exactly how much is caused by human technology.
How much of a role in global warming do humans play?
This depends on your point of view. If the Oregon Report is correct (which I believe it is) there is no such thing as global warming, On the other hand, most climate scientists say that recent global warming and climate change are caused substantially by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), manufacturing cement and deforestation.
How do humans contribute to climate change not including global warming?
Humans are contributing to global warming (by burning fossil fuel and cutting down forests) and global warming is CAUSING climate change.
Are humans doomed by climate change and global warming Or are we going to die out by another cause?
Humans will not die out because of climate change. Humans like all other biological species will evolve. We will also adapt to our changing environment.
Global warming and climate change did you start it?

What is climate change and what kinds of energy are blamed for causing it?
climate change is a huge subject. one of the branches are global warming which is the rise in the temperature of the earth. the humans are what need to be blamed for it we are causing it
What has made Climate change occur?
Climate change has been occurred because of us, humans, pollute the earth. ;) with our cars, and factories and all those gases.
How does climate change the way humans live?
climate changes the way humans live because the amount of gas from factories we give off the more heat we trap in so that causes GLOBAL WARMING!!
What is man's role in global warming?
Humans are responsible for serious deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Climate scientists agree that this is what is causing global warming and climate change.
Is climate change irreversible?
If humans continue to burn fossil fuels and all other natural resources, continue emitting harmful gases, etc, it will be irreversible. If humans change their ways, yes, Climate Change is fully irreversible. By turning to other methods of obtaining energy, becoming aware of current problems, and acting upon it, yes, Climate Change and Global Warming can be reversed.
When did humans have an impact on the climate?
The supposed theory is that humans have been accelerating global climate change since the 1800s (slightly over 200 years). Some say we have GREATLY impacted global climate and desperately need alternative energy sources before we cause a "runaway greenhouse effect". Some believe that humans have little to NO impact on the climate. My personal belief is that the arithmetic prevails. I do not believe that 200 years is enough time for heavy industry to effect the planets climate.
Why will animals and plants be more affected than humans by global climate change?
Plants and animals can be more adversely affected by global climate change because plants and animals can't consciously choose their location and their resources. They have only their instinct to know what to eat or drink and have no way to know if the air, the water, or the soil in their environment is toxic. Humans can know and understand when their environment is not suitable and have the means to change or adjust it when necessary.
What resources do humans use that causes climate change?
None. Despite what you may hear, humans do not and likely cannot change climate.
How are humans contributig to global climate change?
Humans are contributing to the global warming problem by burning fuel for industries, vehicles and basically all forms of modern technology, which increases the levels of CO2 in the air which in turn trap more heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
