Not much, I'm afraid. We know what causes it, burning fossil fuel, but we won't stop burning it. Governments know this, but they are only interested in getting re-elected and not disturbing the economy. There are no great statesmen and women who are looking fifty years ahead.

We know that cutting down trees means that more carbon dioxide is left in the atmosphere, but we still cut down trees, all over the world.

We can see the pine forests of British Columbia destroyed by the pine beetle, because winters are now not cold enough to kill it. We see all this, but we do nothing!

Why does global warming decrease temperatures?

True global warming does not decrease temperatures. So, either the model for global warming's effects is hokus-pokus, or global warming as presently claimed, does not exist. Some global warming followers will have you believe that global warming makes the weather "act crazy". If true, then it is not really global warming, is it.
