What do you do to reduce global warming?

[mark777]

1 there is nothing you can do, and 2 is based on misinformation.

replacement of 70% of fossil fuel energy by alternative energy would take 30 years and cost $200 billion/year extra. For the slow of skull that is a $6 trillion tab for being politically correct and empirically stupid.

More unsubstantiated and impressively large numbers - but where is the explanation, the argument and the science behind any of it?

If you wish to enter in discussion, fine, but rant-and-run? no place for that here, you've been banned for 7 days after a whole range of posts like this. Please calm down and come back.

I actually got a letter that I wrote to the Herald Sun (one of Australia's best papers) published. It reads as follows:
Melbourne are pushing for more night events, with the AFL Grand Final (it's a game played in Australia) and the Formula 1 Grand Prix the big ones.
Melbourne's reputation will become worse as global warming becomes a big issue.

I currently drive a manual transmission car with an 11 gallon tank. This was from a 93 Chevy Blazer with a 20 gallon tank, automatic, 4 wheel drive, big frickin vehicle. I loved that vehicle, but I'd be frickin broke trying to fill the thing. I got about 20 mpg for the blazer compared to the 34+ mpg I get with my car now.

I am freshmen in Cool Antarctica.However I fell in love with this website at my first site.In order to do something to reduce the global warming,I go to work by bus instead of driving car.And persuade other companion and friends to do so.

Dorothy,

Once you visit you can never leave. It's like "Hotel California" but in a good way! I love it here. People are friendly and the atmosphere of the site is clean and wholesome. You can trust that your kids will not pick up any "undesirables" here.

By the way, I'm Australian and a little ignorant of overseas terms, but what's a "freshman"? And since there are now women in colleges, is the plural "freshpeople"? (please note that last comment was purely meant for innocent entertainment value).

Dorothy,

I would love to visit China one day. I'm completely fascinated with the Great Wall. Have you walked on it? Unfortunately China is so far away.....but we have Chinatown in Sydney and it's amazing. Not like the real thing of course but you can get authentic Chinese food and the New Years celebrations are fantastic!

Hi Dorothy, glad to have you here. Very pleased to hear of someone from China who is concerned with global warming and is making efforts to do their part.

Here in the west, China is regarded as the big scary unknown in terms of the potential increase in greenhouse gases. Unfortunately we hear little and fear a lot - guess those two always go together.
