On the macro-scale as a society, we need to invest more in alternative energy sources such as:
- wind and solar energy generation
- improved battery technologies, which will lead to new applications for batteries
(Case in point: The Saturn EV-1 was originally supposed to use new battery technology that would have given it a range of 300-400 mi/charge, but GM did not invest in battery technology between the concept car (Impact) and the production of EV-1. Can you imagine how many of us would be driving EV-1 or other electric vehicles now had they made the early investment?)
- alternative fuel for aircrafts, which is a great source of greenhouse gas emissions as well|||Dear Leonardo, I think the best answer chosen by you represent the essence of all the other answers. Congratulation chante82 for your "best answer". Rahul

I'm not saying I'm prejudice because I'm not, but we have enough problems in our own country that would need to be fixed before we should have allowed this. Whatever though, stop so much immigration and make regulations on becoming a parent.

Many non profit organizations offer the service of offsetting your carbon by purchasing carbon credits from the Chicago Climate Exchange. In Colorado, for example, you can offset your carbon through a program called Drive Neutral. The website is www.driveneutralcolorado.org. You simply type in information that calculates your personal "carbon footprint", and your financial contribution goes towards buying carbon credits, planting trees, and furthering the implementation of carbon free energy technologies, such as wind power.|||Some ideas:
- A shift in renewable resources (i.e. wind, solar, biomass, etc.) for energy sources and incentives for employers for their use.
-Create and promote more energy efficient appliances including light bulbs, but also better housing insulation. Green building should be more widely used along with smaller house sizes.
-Make recycling more readily available and more convenient for people, wherever trash cans are there should also be recycling containers, non-recyclable items such as styrofoam should be discouraged. Sustainability is key. It needs to become part of our culture.
-Incentives for better and improved public transportation should also be considered, along with a push for hybrid vehicles. Walking and biking are also great alternatives.
-Company parties for Earth Day including donation of trees or everyone taking a day to plant some trees. This is important and doesn't take long, I've planted many trees and there is a lot of satisfaction and feeling of accomplishment from that.
-More public awareness (education) is essential and everyone needs to do their part.|||TOGETHER WE ARE A FORCE
If most of us believe that 'someone else will solve this one', then it's already too late.
Here's what you can do (it's important to note that these actions not only save the world, they save you money and make you smarter!):
1. Once you've seen "An Inconvenient Truth", pass it on... it would be most beneficial to spread the word to corporate leaders so that not just personal behavior but corporate procedure undergoes positive change. Pass the DVD around at work and encourage a mass viewing through your HR department if you have one.
2. Change your regular bulbs to compact fluorescent ones.
3. Drive less: walk, bike, carpool, or take metro transit.
4. Recycle more: before you throw it out, consider donating it to a friend, a relative, a homeless person, or THE GOODWILL.
5. Use less hot water: take shorter or cooler showers, switch to a low-flow showerhead, and wash your clothes in cold or warm water only.
6. Avoid products with a lot of packaging and try to avoiding products with a negative impact all together (ex. conflict diamonds or junk food): together, we the consumers have ultimate power over everything in America... if we choose not to buy it, corporations will stop making it. This way it's easy to see that money doesn't run the world, we do. Our demands shape the marketplace.
7. Adjust your thermostat: turn it down just 2 degrees in winter and up 2 in summer for a huge CO2 savings; try a digital thermostat to regulate temperature at all times of the day.
8. Plant a tree: now imagine if we made it a custom that every time a baby was born, to celebrate the occasion, we planted a tree. In time, (s)he would inherit the tree and take care of it, thus learning responsibility and partnership. This way each future person's life would be inexorably woven into the fabric of the Earth.
9. Turn off electronic devices when not using them (TV, DVD, stereo, computer). Unplug them when at all possible (i.e. your cell phone chargers when you’re not using it).
10. Be a part of the solution at ClimateCrisis.net
Thank you Mr. Leonardo Dicaprio for asking such a useful question. Thank you Mr. John Kerry for answering it, thus adding to its clout. Thank you Mr. Gore and everyone involved in the making of "An Inconvenient Truth."|||Here are some things I suggest:
-Learn how to make your own soap for laundry, household cleaning, and even for regular showers...petroleum products are used in a number of commercial detergents that don't need to be there and they're not good for us or the environment.
-If you can't be bothered to make your own soap buy soap that is vegetable based instead of petroleum based (Seventh Generation is a good one).
-Grow more of your own fruits and veggies - the amount of fuel that is used to import and export food is astounding...do your best to try to do it yourself.
-Try and work on a diet that is more vegetarian based...better for your health and the planet.
- Drive less, walk more - walk to the grocery store each day and pick up a few things - this will limit how much you can walk home with hence you'll have to think about what you really "need" .
-If you are driving and stop at the drive thru - for goodness sake make a rule...if there is a line up of more than 2 cars...park your car and walk in...There is nothing worse than watching a car idle away uselessly for 10mins in the drive thru.
-Similarly, if you are shoveling snow off the car - it doesn't need to idle for 10 mins while you clear it off...2 mins is sufficient and finally, if you're waiting for someone in a car...turn the car off if you're waiting longer than 25 seconds
-It's never a bad idea to check the exhaust on your vehicle and to check your vehicles emissions...be concerned about how much you pollute and if your car is burning oil do us a favor and haul it off the road.
-Of course like so many others have said, change light bulbs to energy efficient ones, put a sweater on and turn the heat down, RECYCLE, and compost.
Thanks.

Look up something called the "Maunder Minimum"(Midieval Warming period) and "Little Ice Age"! Both took place before SUVs, CFCs, or even the industrial revolution! During the Maunder Minimum, we had temps so high that the Vikings were growing crops in Iceland! The temps were as high as today! I guess those nasty Vikings were driving hummers? During the period known as the little ice age, people in northern Europe froze and starved to death because they couldn't grow crops! These swings in tempatures happen all the time. We have only had a thermometer up the planet's butt for a few hundred years. Only the last 150 years with any accuracy at all.

A 13Watt bulb is the equivalent of a 60Watt incandenscent bulb, consequently saving on electricity. I was quite surprised and pleased not only with the savings on our electricity bill but the aspect of something so simple making a difference in lower power consumption makes you at least feel like you're doing something.
The expense of changing over isn't that costly either. Costco usually has specials on these bulbs. The bulbs last several years which make them very cost effective.

Bye.|||The absolute lack of tangible evidence for global warming, as perceived by us Americans, myself included up to nearly a year ago represents the first and most prominent battle in this fight. Only as united in mass numbers can each and every person make a difference. Using more efficient appliances, lightbulbs, one less errand in the car per week, planting a tree or preserving an existing one, and recycling are all very very important steps that 90% of us need to make a priority to acheive success. While 7-10% are the only ones participating in more than half of the ways mentioned above, sadly those efforts will never overcome what the rest of the world does to the contrary.
We're dying for a progress report from a trusted source so people can see that what they do makes a difference in our local, very real world. A public accounting, and not a government panel research piece, is what is necessary to mobilize these efforts. One household can produce a profound effect in the results on their own block or in their own neighborhood. Believe me. A means for measuring this needs to be developed. When the Jones family puts their recycle bins on the curb, the Smiths are more likely to do it as well. The same goes for planting of trees and other things. When that impact is publicly noted from one neighborhood to another, we have a united cause that we're all a part of.
Not so much of an education campaign but an involvement campaign is what will be necessary. Education campaigns are only gaining the passive attention of the public, and are muddled in the sea of political bias, evidence from other parts of the world and difference of opinion in the way these facts are presented. We can do better than that. Imagine local news reporting that communities "A,B and D" paid lower electric and heating bills, planted 8 more trees and recycled 20% more last month as compared with communities "C and F" right next door. You're involved whether you like it or not, and will seek the education to know what this is all about once you've seen it enough times to make you curious. Public awareness will develop on its own without specifically urging people, begging people to pay attention to what Leo and Al and all the others have to say.
Lastly, these efforts have the capability to save EVERY American money. These practices lower our utility bills, save us money at the gas pump, and in other ways put money right back in our pockets. On the scale of mass population, these economic incentives will make our economy stronger if we're all participating. Money in our pockets grows our businesses and saves for college and increases our standard of living.
I have the plan. Who's with me? Lets get it done !!|||It doesn't matter because the Lord will make a new heaven and earth. Jesus is coming soon, the question is, is He coming for you?|||HI
