switch to renewable energy...but that will never happen because BIGOIL is so powerful that they control all the world leaders.

We know what we should do, but this situation is a falling safe...there IS no good outcome. Given that the world population keeps rising, and fossil fuels, the property of very large and politically powerful corporations whose wealth and influence now control or are close to controlling most of the countries in the world we'll never see much reduction in the overall burn rate. At this point the CO2 situation is moving ever closer to 400ppm. In 1950 it was 350ppm. In 1800 it was 286ppm. At 450ppm we reach a major tipping point called a runaway greenhouse effect. At the current rate of increase that's about 2030 to 2050. Yeah..it's that bad.



This situation is called a high equilibrium trap. You can't stop what you're doing because so many things depend on what you're doing even if what you're doing is going to kill off the entire system. We could never slow down, much less stop the burning of fossil fuels...if we did millions would starve, cities would crumble, civilization would cease and the deniers would have nothing to talk about.



Conclusion: What many people now alive will live to see is rapidly rising temperatures soon after X percent of the world's ice fields have melted. That's where all of the trapped solar heat currently goes and what's kept the atmospheric heat level from going through the roof! Ice is a good thing...it prevents temporally the end of world wide industrial civilization based on agriculture...even people with cell phones need to eat.



Climate change is real and it's rapid and it's caused by pouring tons of CO2 and methane into our paper thin atmosphere. However, there's a finite mass of ice....that's why your beer warms up in the ice chest after the all the ice has melted.

Drive less In the US people are doing just that since the economy is in the tank. Funny that CO2 is still rising.

Conserve electricity. In the US people are doing just that. Appliances use less. We use economy light bulbs. We go on daylight saving time earlier. Funny CO2 is still rising.

Plant trees. There are more trees in the US than when Columbus came in 1492. Funny CO2 is still going up.

Reduce. We have. Funny CO2 is still going up.

Reuse. We are. Funny CO2 has still gone up.

Recycle. That many times causes a bigger CO2 footprint than using raw material.

We have enacted laws to curb all this CO2 pollution with no results.

We have taxed CO2 with no results.



Yet the world leaders are asking for more sacrifices as they jet down to South Africa to hold conferences on AGW.



Us lowlifes have done all these things and yet the world leaders are asking for more, They want us in the US to forsake our own Constitution and comply to their scheme for world control. And just think they haven't given us one ounce of credible proof.



This is what our 'leaders' have in mind:

Quote by David Brower, a founder of the Sierra Club: "The goal now is a socialist, redistributionist society, which is nature's proper steward and society's only hope."



Quote by Club of Rome: "A keen and anxious awareness is evolving to suggest that fundamental changes will have to take place in the world order and its power structures, in the distribution of wealth and income."



Wealth redistribution will solve AGW? How? Anyway, remember wealth redistribution is just a code word for Communism.



Quote by Gordon Brown, former British prime minister: "A New World Order is required to deal with the Climate Change crisis."

Quote by Club of Rome: "Now is the time to draw up a master plan for sustainable growth and world development based on global allocation of all resources and a new global economic system. Ten or twenty years form today it will probably be too late."



According to our 'world leaders' we have a crisis that only can be solved by a central government. Who will head up that government? Why them, of course. What is this crisis? Why it is AGW. Where is your proof that AGW exists? There isn't any.



Ha! Ha! SUCKERS!

First world leaders should construct massive projects to turn our electricity usage into 100% renewable to reality. In deserts they should build solar power plants all over the place and Transfer it all over the world. On windy plains they should build massive wind farms. They should use lots of geothermal power. Increase taxes on big oil to keep them from growing bigger and start giving benefits of 10 million dollars to people who will build sole Solar Powered Cars. Meanwhile products should become bio-degradable and recherche in this field should be ramped up and subsidized by world governments. The governments should also should install micro sprinklers to reduce water usage. Mass Transportation should also be subsidized and solar powered railroads, monorails and buses should be built. People who start running these should be granted loans. To also help pay for this governments should charge a penny on every dollar invested in stock, the big oil tax and pollution taxes on non-renewable sources of energy. Not only that but there should be Green roofs on skyscrapers in city's. This will reduce pollution and lower energy cost. The reasons for doing this is if we dint sea levels will irreversibly rise swamping city's and agricultural lands, fertile lands Will turn into desert and many people in Asia and in North America will face serious water shortages. Over time it will only get worse.

did you recognize the worldwide warming happens using upward thrust interior the temperature around the earths environment. In today's international worldwide warming is super severe situation. human beings are the final responsible to worsen the Earth condition. the upward thrust in city warmth isn't in uncomplicated terms through the organic reasons in climate substitute however the fairway residing house gases are the final reason at the back of worldwide warming. for greater guidance take a glance of the link this is shown interior the source field. it's going to be useful for you...

Political leaders are led by votes and they care for little else. I doubt that progressive measures can actually be expected.



If they wanted to encourage less energy use in transportation, they would encourage convenient public transit such as with PRT transit, perhaps writing the automated vehicle laws in such a fashion as to encourage publicly accessible automated vehicles on dedicated throughfares, so far the legislation for automated vehicles amount to just special license plates on them and keeping the responsibility with the human "driver" whose responsible for taking over controls when necessary. They should legislate a requirement for no stand-by driver in public automated vehicles on separate thoroughfares or traveling on city streets less than a certain speed thereby encouraging PRT deployment. I find it difficult to believe that they would favor such efficient transportation methods as public transit would result in less demand for private vehicles which drives most of our economy, in the end, jobs count for votes.



If they want people to conserve electricity, there has to be a significant economic advantage. Net metering must be available to allow people to benefit from alternative energy sources such as solar and wind turbines. Smart meters can charge higher rates during peak usage periods and lower rates during low usage periods and the shannagins of privatized power should be done away with, it's by definition a utility and a monopoly, there's no point in introducing middle men just to claim that there's competition.



Tree planting has to be more sustainable than the monoculture pollen producing male trees which occurs now. Fruit bearing female trees may be more troublesome for city workers to tend the grounds but it needs to be a mixed environment both in plant species and the sex of the trees.



I would like to see the return of community recycling bins instead of the current subscription driven curbside recycling which profits from the subscription itself. The current curbside recycling only fools people into thinking they are recycling as the products are disposed of in landfills if the market price for the recyclables is too low and they often are due to the popularity of curbside recycling. Fundamentally, recycling doesn't start with the collection of recyclables but with the use of recyclables so the government can require a progressive increase of recycled content required in consumer products with higher taxes if there is less recycled content.

Find the actual cause natural or otherwise since CO2 and Methane are at 60% of there max warming effect(their is effect logarithmic).

Educate the masses in re: global issues.Higher returns for recyclables,raise the price of frivolous, non- necessary items.Keep more manufacturing jobs in country(less shipping)Tax breaks/lower usage rates for lowering electric and water usage in home.Organize community tree planting rallies.Give more tax breaks to manufactures who use "cleaner" methods(allow them to upgrade their factories,grants to do so).

Well, North Carolina came up with an...interesting way to deal with it. They -- and this is inspired -- BANNED Sea Level Rise! Yes, They banned the sea from rising. Banned it! Made it illegal for the sea to increase in height!

According to "Inconvenience Truth" the world only had until 2008 to stop global warming. Now it is TOO LATE.



90% of the people including you and me will die HORRIBLE deaths from floods, hurricanes, droughts, blizzards, tsunamis and earthquakes.



Only the Lear jet people like Michael Moore and Al Gore will survive the coming climate APOCALYPSE in their underground mansions.
