What are different nations doing to slow global warming?

Answer 1

Most nations are cutting down there cabon emissions by signing on for something called Kyoto. When a nation signs on, they keep a promise to have there carbon emissions below a certain point. I think every nation except for the U.S. has signed on. From- Q&A master

Answer 2

Here in Sweden we produce environmentally friendly cars and give big tax benefits to cars that run on natural gas.

In Great Britain they build lots of windmills, even windmills that has their base in the sea. They also have an inventor that has designed aerodynamic trucks that only require 50% of the fuel common trucks do.

Australia has banned the sale of regular light bulbs.

Mexico has started a program called Proarbol to help stop deforestation, poverty and to increase jungles in Mexico.

Some countries:

• Offer increasing levels of tax on fuel to reduce consumption
• Offer grants for installations of renewable energy systems in homes
• Ensure less carbon emissions in construction and operations
• Issue free energy efficient light bulbs - Only allow the sale of energy efficient appliances

Answer 3

Governments and countries have to get together and agree on a common solution.

• They have to legislate to put a cap on carbon emissions (to stop factories producing carbon dioxide)
• They have to stop deforestation and takes steps to promote new forest growth
• They have to deal with waste and anaerobic decomposition that produces methane
• They have to promote recycling.
• They have to cut the use of chemical fertilizers whose run-off pollutes our waterways
• They have to promote organic farming, worm farms and composting.
• Goverments should legislate to put a price on carbon. So that polluting industries will be encouraged to cut their emissions.
• This will encourage take-up of renewable energy.
• Governments can help to solve environmental difficulties by encouraging and working with big industries to promote the development of renewable energies.
• Governments need to fund research and development technologies and also governments need to develop some sort of prize fund with large rewards to attract knowledgeable scientists to come and help in the research fields.

The fact is that global warming is happening, it is not something that can be prevented. It has gone too far to be stopped, at least in the near future. The best we can do right now is find ways of slowing it down. Another complication is that governments are usually slow to act on environmental issues in general, so it may take some time to see changes. The government is helping control this issue by passing the Clean Air Act so there is less air pollution.

By planting trees, by trying stop greenhouse gases that are produced every day, and by encouraging people to reduce wasteful energy use.

Countries and international organizations are executing studies, summits and protocols that may reduce the effects of global warming.

Answer 4

Many countries are giving more money to scientists so they can find a way to protect our planet. Many country, like the US are giving money or tax breaks to people who buys a hybrid car or buys things using sun and wind energy.

Answer 5

Other countries have done various efforts. They have tried to cut down carbon emissions.

Answer 6

Many nations agreed to declare carbon dioxide a polluntant and more a menace than water vapor as a greenhouse gas with virtually no evidence to back up the assertion.

Answer 7

Saving the rainforest.
