1. I think public transportation should be made possible almost everywhere. Metro, buses, whatever. Then, we will not have people making excuses. Also, it should be rewarded, and taking cars to work should be heavily taxed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's a good portion of the US that isn't feasible to do that in... unless you want to get some massive urban sprawl going (that would probably counter the bonuses of having public transportation). It's about 10 minutes to the nearest town with a grocery store and another 20-30 to get to the next major town with stores like Best Buy, Lowes, and all that. And this is *mid to eastern* Kansas, the west part of the state is even more sparsely populated.

Good point. Who in America decided to have everything so far apart?! IT sucks.

I have researched the problem Global warming for half of my life. After years of research I have finally come up with a workable solution. We must build a gigantic plastic cooler that will fit around the Earth! If we have enough people, we can do anything!

Ahem...*Milankovitch Cycles!*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, my friends, there's not a thing we can do.

[MyPurpleCrayon]

It's so freaking cold here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cannot wait until Global Warming.

Wait! This could be a bad deal... how are we going to build our kids' character if not by shovelling snow for hours on end!?

Yea, same here. I'm moving to a cold place to get a head start.

I don't think that there IS a good solution, but here are some (american) steps we NEED to take:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Get out of Iraq, we already spent trillions there

 

 

 

Use the money instead for healthcare and study torwards alternate fuel souces (cheap)

 

 

 

Get Al Gore back on our side ^,^

 

 

 

Get the world to realise how much of a danger Global Warming is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait, none of this will happen for at least 2 more years, because Bush and his lackeys are in power.

Amen.

[Militaris]

Although I doubt that humans are responsible for global climate change. There are several options which would have a large impact on the amount of pollution being released into the atmosphere. These are a increase in the amount of Nuclear, Solar and Geothermal power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other options either produce CO2, mince birds, are unpleasant and noisy, or destroy environments.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With regards to transportation, I do not see any changes being essential. The market economy would result in more efficient engines and fuel from crops is being researched.

[remoteman]

Lol has anyone here seen Al Gore's movie 'An Invonvient Truth' and the futurama clip in it? Basically it talks about how the solved global warming, they make a massive ice cube and dump it into the ocean every 6 months or something, problem solved :lol:

[hipyhop00]

It takes more energy and produces far more carbon dioxide to build a car than the car will use in its entire life time.

 

 

 

Your on a computer which uses electricity which dosent come from nothing it has to be produeced at power stations producing CO2

 

 

 

Is you walking to the shops instead of driving using 0.2L of fuel going to stop companies that import oil. look up the fuel consumption per year and its measured in hundred billion gallons or some massive amount and times that by $1 a liter think of the profit that there making.

 

 

 

Its just funny to watch people talk about how they are going to save the world by not driving to the shops and talk about some great new idea that someone else should come up with.

The only way getting out of Iraq would help is that the iraqis would stop selling oil to the US or just push the price up alot making people in america go flat broke and having to sell their cars because they can no longer afford it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your breathing which is producing CO2, stop breathing so much and you can make a diffrence!

I thought he might have wanted America to leave Iraq so it would collapse into a civil war, and in doing so destroying their economy, Oil production capabilities and generally ruining the country and returning it to a state more resembling pre-industrial revolution.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But that would mean less emissions from Iraq, and secondarily they would not be able to pump any more oil so reducing it again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Really quite a selfish act, and I doubt it would succeed even if implemented.

[flipflop121]

what you have to realise is that O.P.E.C controls a large proportion of the worlds wealth, to demonstarte this the most powerful country in the world went to war for a portion of there wealth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what opec does is it buys out the more advanced ideas of fuel effiecent technologies and will use them when all of the oil has run out.

Indeed, which is a brilliant business decision, until they realize that there is enough oil to last another 100ish years, and by then, they'll be puking up their collapsed lungs from the heat, lol. They have yet to realize this, because all their CEO's are 80 years old and will be dead before any of it happens anyways! So, yea...Why should they care?

[warri0r45]

Bush and his lackeys are in power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im not even an american, and i can see how much of a burden bush has been on america and the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the sad thing about global warming is greed - big oil companies - OPEC - only want one thing - money, they dont care about the environment, fundamentally.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

its a sad fact, but seeing the power that these huge companies have, its hard to see a change of car/vehicle fuel until crude oil runs out.

[Giordano]

Money > Life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That whats companies are nowadays... :-w

[Kryptic]

Politically - Pull out of Iraq and use the millions of dollars wasted there to stop global warming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But even if politicians started this idea today it wouldnt change the outcome. The CFC's (and others) made 20 years ago have not reached the atmosphere, so only one can guess the full extent of the damage. The deed is done... nice knowin' ya peoples.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lol @ coughing lungs out...

[beanonator]

Here in Belgium the techno-center in Louvain la Neuve did some research for bio-diesel. After a while they found it, made out of a simple plant... Coalseed is the translation, but its probably wrong :P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

^^

 

 

 

very good solution.

[rocketman089]

A month or so ago they very first commericla bio-diesel gas station opened up in my city.

As soon as the war is over, there will be no money for anything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just like before it started...There was magically no money for it then, either. :P

My nieghbour and his pit crew are trying to make a car which drives on vegetable oil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Imagine that.. gas stations dispensing vegetable oil for cars - :-k

[rune2thescape]

Use methane in cars e.t.c.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FART TO SAVE THE WORLD!!!!!!! :anxious: :shock: :-w

CFCs are not a greenhouse gas. They cause a reduction in the amount of Ozone. and anyway the Ozone deleption has already started to recover, CFC concentrations in the atmosphere are on the decline and a complete recovery is predicted to be around 2050.

These have already been made and are working.

This is completely untrue. It is sad how people have to make things up to try and further a point.

Evidence?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The automotive industry is just as large and extremely competitive. If such technologies were available, many would secure and implement them in a second to gain a advantage. By saying that, many engines are much more fuel efficient today then they were 5 years ago.

They are also under massive pressure from the consumer to provide cleaner and environmentally friendly options. If a company gets a bad reputation it would result in reduce earners and less money. To fulfill their 'greed' they need to have the consumer demanding their products.
