Is there anything we can do on a big scale to stop Global Warming? Is there anything that really will make a BIG difference...

I know they say that %26#039;everything little you do helps%26#039;, e.g turning lights off, not leaving T.Vs on standby etc.

but is there anything, that we can do individually, in a group or as a nation ?

Will the governement ever see sense?

    • Global warming cannot be stopped without the participation of China, India, the countries of the former USSR and South American countries which together far outstrip North America in production of pollution and destruction of forests.

      North America could, however, reduce its use of hydrocarbons as fuel by nearly 80% by establishing large solar and wind energy farms. The huge non-productive but sunny or windy areas available in Canada and the US make it possible to produce all of the electricity needs of those countries -- and replace much of the natural gas, oil and propane heating with clean, non-polluting electrical heat. The technology exists. We lack only the will.

      All that said, however, the heat that we produce to heat our homes and buildings eventually escapes -- and contributes to global warming. So unless we all move to warm climates and stop exhaling Carbon dioxide, we will continue to contribute to global warming.

      BTW, the utterly futile production of fuel from corn is counter-productive because it uses more energy and releases more carbon dioxide to produce bio-diesel than to produce synthetic diesel from the Canadian oil sands -- which contain enough oil to keep Canada and the US going for at least another 150 years. The incentives to produce fuel from corn are also, in part, responsible for the crippling food price increases in much of the third world over the past year.
    • Start small - do little things like you already suggested. Lead by example, others will see the good in what you are doing, and will follow. Soon our polical leaders will catch on to the importance of this once they realize how important it is.
    • I don%26#039;t think there is such thing as Global warming. And there is nothing we can do to prevent it. even if we started doing something, we would see the effects of our %26quot;help%26quot; for the nearest 150 years, so chill out people :(
