In many nations governments have tried to act to curtail the use of fossil fuels. This is done through a variety of measures, such as carbon taxes or credit trading schemes. These efforts are laudable, but without the cooperation of the primary polluters--the US, China, and India, the efforts won't be nearly as successful as they could be.
The US government adopted a sort of "let's wait and see if the past twenty years of climate research won't be upended by new results in the next twenty years" approach, delaying critical action. Though in just the past few years our effort to reduce CO2 emissions has succeeded in a small decline. Much more yet needs to be done.
What else can I help you with?
What role do governments have in controlling global warming?
The key role of the government in controlling global warming is to provide leadership in bringing about change. Unfortunately, some governments do not have the political will to provide leadership just when it is needed most.
Do rain forests affect global warming?
Yes, rain forests play a crucial role in mitigating global warming. They act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Deforestation and degradation of rain forests contribute to global warming by releasing stored carbon and reducing the forest's ability to absorb CO2.
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.
What is the role of gasoline in global warming?
Gasoline is one of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which is causing global warming. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, rises into the atmosphere where it traps heat.
What do you wonder about global warming?
I wonder how we can mitigate the effects of global warming before irreversible damage is done to our planet. I am curious about the role of technology and innovation in finding solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow down climate change.
What role do governments have in controlling global warming?

Who should play a role in controlling the factors that cause global warming?
Everyone can reduce release of Greenhouse Gases. Mostly, cut down on how much energy you use.
How con you prevent the role of combustion on global warming?
By spreading water
How do kids play a role in global warming?
kids must be taught regarding global warming, so that they are not only gain awareness but also work for its counter implementations.
What role do cities play in global warming?
Cities and the people in them play a large role in global warming. Heating, cooling and transport in the cities use massive amounts of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When fossil fuel is burnt it releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases that are causing global warming.
How do plants increase global warming?
Plants don't increase global warming. In fact, they do the opposite.Plants, trees and all vegetation reduce the effect of global warming by removing from the atmosphere these gases like carbon dioxide and storing the carbon in their trunks and branches. They help to reduce global warming.
Do rain forests affect global warming?
Yes, rain forests play a crucial role in mitigating global warming. They act as carbon sinks, absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Deforestation and degradation of rain forests contribute to global warming by releasing stored carbon and reducing the forest's ability to absorb CO2.

Do turtles help global warming or do turtles try to stop global warming?
Turtles themselves do not directly impact global warming or actively try to stop it. However, as part of the ecosystem, they contribute to maintaining biodiversity, which plays a role in ecosystem balance that can indirectly help mitigate climate change impacts.
What is Global Warming and its role in air quality?
Global Warming is the slow heating up of the earth. Bad air quality can lead to the destruction of the ozone layer, allowing more dangerous rays to enter Earth's atmosphere.
What role does Polar ice do for the earth?
It provides a habitat for polar bears, an iconic creature for global warming. The ice also acts as a serious reflector of solar radiation (the albedo effect), slowing the speed of global warming.
