What actions do you believe should be taken to address the global warming issues?

Answer 1

There are three primary sources of CO2 gas emissions which should be curtailed. First and foremost is the burning of coal and oil for energy. Instead of building coal fired power plants nations should license renewable supplies such as wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear.

Second should be a shift in focus from single passenger vehicles to mass transit systems and high speed rail. CXT's famous ad notes they can move a ton of freight over 400 miles on a single gallon of diesel.

Some carbon sequestration occurs in forests. Trees felled for firewood quickly releases its carbon back into the atmosphere, but trees logged for lumber continue to sequester that carbon in housing materials, while new trees are replanted to take their place. On the other hand, tropical rainforest wood is typically slashed and burned for agriculture, but the poor quality of tropical rain forest soil means pasture land must be moved to new areas.

Answer 2

1. Stop digging up and burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
2. Move immediately to varying forms of renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen).
3. Stop all forms of deforestation.
4. Plant billions of new trees all over the world.
