Switch from a regular incandescent light bulb to a fluorescent light bulb to save energy.

Taking the bus, the train, the subway or other forms of public transportation lessens the load on the roads and reduces one's individual greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 1600 pounds per year.
Try using refills instead of buying new jars or bottles each time. This reduces your consumption and is usually cheaper, too.

that summer's drought in the United States was "99% certain" to have been caused by the greenhouse effect
current temperatures will go up by an average of 3-4[deg.]C
But it is inconceivable that the planet could bounce back from warming into a sudden ice age
These activities create greenhouse gases which are carbon dioxide
methane gas, chloroflourocarbons, and nitrous oxide. These are called greenhouse gases because when concentrated in the atmosphere these gases act like the glass in a greenhouse
they let energy in as short-wavelength solar radiation but reflect it back when it tries to exit again as longer-wavelength heat waves.
temperature is cause of ice melting on Earth's poles and sea level rise which is becoming faster over last century. Sea levels are expected to rise between 7 and 23 inches by the end of the century, and continued melting at the poles could add between 4 and 8 inches.
Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become stronger. Precipitation has increased across the globe. Floods and droughts are likely to become more common.
world has seen so many disastrous events due to climate change such as forest fires in Russia. Russian capital Moscow has suffered its hottest day on record with temperature reaching 39degC (102F).
Many villages are burnt due to this forest fire, hundreds of people are killed and thousands are homeless.
Palestine recorded its hottest day August 7, 2010 and the temperature was 51.4degC.
The worst floods in Pakistan have killed more than 1700 people and left 20 million homeless.
Policies for the energy sector which is the major source of emission of gasses
Main solution of the problem is the reduction of industrial activities; in other words control the emission of greenhouse gasses.
Ukraine's hottest day was recorded on August 1, 2010 on 41.3degC. Qatar's hottest day was July 14, 2010 and the record temperature was 50.degC

Switch from a regular incandescent light bulb to a fluorescent light bulb to save energy.
Install a programmable thermostat, they turn on during the day but turn off to save energy.
Move your thermostat up 2 degrees in the winter and 2 degrees down in the summer.
Reduce, Reuse and recycle
Use the off switch on electricity.
Livestock are responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than transportation is. This is due to the large amounts of petroleum used in creating ammonium nitrate fertilizer (for the corn that they are fed) plus the cost of shipping that corn to the cattle and then shipping the cattle to slaughter and grocery
Run your dishwasher only with a full load. Save 100 lbs. of carbon dioxide and U.S. $40 per year.
Make sure that your printer paper is 100% post consumer recycled paper. Save 5 lbs. of carbon dioxide per ream of paper.
Less packaging could reduce your garbage significantly, saving 1,200 pounds of carbon dioxide and $1,000 per year
Keep your water heater insulated to save up to 1,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide and US$40 per year. Avoid using units fitted with continuous pilot lights, and you will save AUD$40 and 200 kilograms of greenhouse gas emissions yearly.
Inefficient appliances (such as refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners) waste energy.
Even when electronic devices are turned off, they use energy. Save over 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide and US$256 per year by unplugging them or switching them off at the wall using a power surge-protector
Plants like Bamboo grow faster and produce 35% more oxygen than trees like oak or birch, and require fewer chemicals and care.
Taking the bus, the train, the subway or other forms of public transportation lessens the load on the roads and reduces one's individual greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 1600 pounds per year.
Try using refills instead of buying new jars or bottles each time. This reduces your consumption and is usually cheaper, too.

Global warming has become one of the worlds most co mplicated and major issues
Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to the Global Carbon Project
The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.
summer by 20402040 or earlier.
Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's glacier national park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.
Humans are pouring carbon dioxide into the atmosphere much faster then plants and animals can absorb it
Some experts point out that natural cycles in Earth's orbit can alter the planet's exposure to sunlight, which may explain the current trend. Earth has indeed experienced warming and cooling cycles roughly every hundred thousand years due to these orbital shifts, but such changes have occurred over the span of several centuries. Today's changes have taken place over the past hundred years or less.
Sea level could rise between 7 and 23 inches (18 to 59 centimeters) by century's end, the IPCC's February 2007 report projects. Rises of just 4 inches (10 centimeters) could flood many South Seas islands and swamp large parts of Southeast Asia.
Glaciers around the world could melt, causing sea levels to rise while creating water shortages in regions dependent on runoff for fresh water.
Strong hurricanes, droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and other natural disasters may become commonplace in many parts of the world. The growth of deserts may also cause food shortages in many places.
The ocean's circulation system, known as the ocean conveyor belt, could be permanently altered, causing a mini ice age in western Europe and other rapid changes.

Emissions rose 5.9 percent in 2010, according to the Global Carbon Project
For almost two decades, the United Nations has sponsored annual global talks united states framwork convention of climate change
Rich countries therefore must support developing nations adapt—through financing and technology transfer
rich nations have done very little within the Kyoto protocol to reduce emissions by any meaningful amount
starting a program that will address short-lived pollutants like soot
methane and hydrofluorocarbons that have an outsize influence on global warming, accounting for 30 to 40 percent of global warming.
Soot from diesel exhausts and the burning of wood, agricultural waste and dung for heating and cooking causes an estimated two million premature deaths a year, particularly in the poorest countries.
Climate change is a problem that is affecting people and the environment. Greater energy efficiency and new technologies hold promise for reducing greenhouse gases and solving this global challenge.
Climate change will have a significant impact on the sustainability of water supplies in the coming decades
he study found that more than 1,100 counties -- one-third of all counties in the lower 48 -- will face higher risks of water shortages by mid-century as the result of global warming. More than 400 of these counties will face extremely high risks of water shortages.
Solving global warming will improve our lives by cleaning up air pollution while investing in clean energy, green jobs and smart energy solutions that get the U.S. economy moving again.
In 2011, record-breaking extreme events occurred in each of the 50 states, and the frequency and intensity of some extreme events is likely to worsen with climate change.
Climate change is one of the most serious public health threats facing the nation
Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies.

Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice free summer by 2040 or earlier. polar bears and other creatures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.
Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's glacier national park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.

some impacts are record high temperatures, melting glaciers and servere flooding and droughts
scientists say the earth is almost at the point where global warming is unreverseable
scientists say humans are to blame
scientists say that global warming is what caused the drought in Ethiopia which killed millions
The world mostly agrees that something needs to be done about global warming and climate change
The United States plus a few other countries, and many large corporations, have opposed climate change treaties seemingly afraid of profit impacts if they have to make substantial changes to how they do business.
a few influential companies and organizations are still attempting to undermine climate change action and concerns.
Industrialized nations have emitted far more greenhouse gas emissions (even if some developing nations are only now increasing theirs);
Rich countries therefore face the biggest responsibility and burden for action to address climate change
Rich countries therefore must support developing nations adapt—through financing and technology transfer
rich nations have done very little within the Kyoto protocol to reduce emissions by any meaningful amount

For almost two decades, the United Nations has sponsored annual global talks united states framwork convention of climate change
global emisions of carbon dioxide jumped by the largest amount in the year 2010
some scientists say our food and water supply is at risk
Global warming threatens our everyday needs
