The evidence that humans are causing global warming is strong, but the question of what to do
about it remains controversial. Economics, sociology, and politics are all important factors in
planning for the future.
Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) today, the Earth would still warm by
another degree Fahrenheit or so. But what we do from today forward makes a big difference.
Depending on our choices, scientists predict that the Earth could eventually warm by as little as
2.5 degrees or as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
A commonly cited goal is to stabilize GHG concentrations around 450-550 parts per million
(ppm), or about twice pre-industrial levels. This is the point at which many believe the most
damaging impacts of climate change can be avoided. Current concentrations are about 380 ppm,
which means there isn't much time to lose. According to the IPCC, we'd have to reduce GHG
emissions by 50% to 80% of what they're on track to be in the next century to reach this level.
Is this possible?
Many people and governments are already working hard to cut greenhouse gases, and everyone
can help.
Researchers Stephen Pacala and Robert Socolow at Princeton University have suggested one
approach that they call "stabilization wedges." This means reducing GHG emissions from a
variety of sources with technologies available in the next few decades, rather than relying on an
enormous change in a single area. They suggest 7 wedges that could each reduce emissions, and
all of them together could hold emissions at approximately current levels for the next 50 years,
putting us on a potential path to stabilize around 500 ppm.
There are many possible wedges, including improvements to energy efficiency and vehicle fuel
economy (so less energy has to be produced), and increases in wind and solar power, hydrogen
produced from renewable sources, biofuels (produced from crops), natural gas, and nuclear
power. There is also the potential to capture the carbon dioxide emitted from fossil fuels and
store it underground—a process called "carbon sequestration."
In addition to reducing the gases we emit to the atmosphere, we can also increase the amount of
gases we take out of the atmosphere. Plants and trees absorb CO2 as they grow, "sequestering"
carbon naturally. Increasing forestlands and making changes to the way we farm could increase
the amount of carbon we're storing.
Some of these technologies have drawbacks, and different communities will make different
decisions about how to power their lives, but the good news is that there are a variety of options
to put us on a path toward a stable climate.

lumang tarpauline. Ang mga materyales na ito ay di nabubulok o non-biodegradable at kung
itatapon ay magbibigay ng malaking suliranin sa basura at global warming. Dahil basura kung
ituring ng iba, ito ay sinusunog ng ilang kumpanya kaya nagbibigay ng "green house
gases" (mga gas na nagbibigay ng mas matinding pag-init ng mundo o global warming).

Answer to the problem

Answer to the problem can be summed in one line; ‘Reduce carbon and green house gas emission in the atmosphere before
it’s too late’. Stop dependency on fossil fuels and look out for renewable energy which can be substituted for the energy
needs.

50 World Solutions of Global Warming.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Include global warming/climate change in school curricula (as part

of National Science Standards), so when the students are in charge
they can make educated decisions.

2. Increase availability of low-interest Energy Efficient Mortgages

to support homeowners who increase the energy efficiency of their homes.

3. Put light sensors in all office and school buildings so all lights
go off when the rooms are empty.

4. Require that all products contributing to global warming be marked

with a specific color (e.g., chemical pesticides could be marked with
a red sticker for being extremely dangerous to the environment).

5. Use less paper; use the back of the paper to print on or write on;
use recyled paper.

6. Plant more trees to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

7. Teach recycling techniques in classes and school-wide programs.

8. Make recycling mandatory in all public facilities, such as

schools, parks and beaches.

9. Do public service announcements on TV featuring celebrities

promoting carpooling, walking, riding bikes, using public
transportation, conserving electricity and recycling.

10. Give grants and tax credits to companies that invest in

alternative, sustainable, emission-free fuel technologies while ending
such subsidies for fosssil fuel production.

11. The media should conduct interviews of legislators to help the

public become aware of their ability and willingness to help solve the
problem.

12. Replace incandescence light bulbs with fluorescence light bulbs.

13. Restrict the use of chemical fertilizer in agriculture.

14. Provide incentives and policies to encourage car makers to make

more fuel efficient cars.

15. Protect wetlands and preserve more open space.

16. Provide tax incentives for regular recyclers and car poolers.

17. Use solar panels in the construction of new homes and office
buildings.

18. Substitute local community transportation fleets with hybrid vehicles.

19. Require that car dealers hand out fact sheets that inform car
buyers about the pollution levels of different cars.

20. Send scientists to talk about global warming in schools. They can
bring hands-on activities so students feel more involved.

21. Unplug all electronics from the wall when they're not in use.

22. Have another Global Warming Student Speakout in one year - to see
if any of these ideas have been implemented.

23. Raise mandatory emissions standards for cars and other vehicles
sold in the US.

24. Use solar power in the day and use electricity at night when needed.

25. Give tax rebates for using solar power.

26. Congress should ratify the Kyoto Agreement.

27. Establish off-shore wind farms - saves land space and produces
reliable power.

28. Levy higher taxes on companies that pollute the air.

29. Wait until you have a lot of clothes to wash before using the
washing machine.

30. Provide tax incentives for companies that create Hybrid cars. That
will reduce the need for oil.

31. Schools and businesses should be fined for not having recycling
bins available to the people on their premises.

32. The media should tell us about what is really going on with global
warming. We don't think that we have all the information we need.

33. At the end of the weather forecast, report "CO2 emissions levels
today…" or comparative average temperatures (i.e., this year's
temperature as it compares to the past several years).
34. Lead by example and convert 50% of government vehicles to
environmentally friendly cars by the year 2020.

35. Place recycling bins throughout the city wherever there is a trash
can.

36. Require companies to limit the amount of packaging an item can

have and it must be recyclable.

37. Block bills that cause more damage to the environment.

38. Media could reduce advertising costs for alternative energy

products to inform and increase sales in these areas.

39. Keep your tires fully inflated to improve gas mileage.

40. Replace old appliances with Energy Star appliances.

41. Promote awareness of local recycling centers.

42. Require college and high school students to take a global warming
class.

43. Give tax reductions to public transportation users.

44. Protect our oceans - prevent plankton in the ocean from dying.

45. People running for elections should use email, radio and other
media to campaign and stop using so many paper signs and flyers that
use up our natural resources and then get left out and become pollution.

46. Reuse newspapers as wrapping paper for gifts.

47. Enforce laws about littering.

48. Use less electricity, turn off the TV, read books, walk, run,
bike, surf, play tennis.

49. Business should require employees to telecommute several days a week.

50. Provide scientists appropriate resources to help them research the
future of energy and the freedom to explore innovative ideas.
