Here are 10 ideas, they’re not necessarily the most important things to do and they’re not in any special order. What do you think of these ideas? Which ones do you agree are worth doing? All of them? Some of them? Which ones? Why? Which ones do you already do? Feel free to make a video with your own ten ideas and post it as a response. I think this is a good topic for an ESL class. Introduce a simple list like this and discuss it. Have students make a new list etc. Here are some more ideas: www.stopglobalwarming.org Oh and I should have included this one: Don’t idle! So many people do this in Japan. Drives me nuts.

News and comments on global climate change, global warming and greenhouse effect
Hi sarah!
I didn’t know that eating animal products contritube to global warming. How so ?
If you drink from the tap around these parts theres a good chance youl be pooping all day.
The important thing for humans to do is stop over populating.
Women need to have only one child until our population declines to about 100 million. Then there will be no starvation, oil shorages, energy shortages and there will be less war. Cheers!
lol
There’s this huge thing called Sun. It spits gigatons of ionized radiation at us. It also affects Earth’s EMF electrically, and can suppress Earths’s ability to filter that gigamassive amount of heat enducing radiation.
you bet, plus I hate fluoride, and chlorine. I’ve read a really interesting article about fluoride. It’s bad….
When people eat cows, for example, they grow grain for the cows to eat, then kill the cows, freeze them etc. If humans just ate the grain in the first place, then we’d use a lot less energy. There are also other factors, like bovine flatulence and gas released by manure.
“Bovine flatulence” = cow farts btw. The NZ government tried to introduce a “fart tax” a few years ago, but lots of farmers drove their tractors to parliament to protest … and they ended up not doing it. A shame.
I think you might be right … I’m not really sure about GW. But I’m really passionate about reducing pollution – I hate dirty seas, rivers, air etc. That’s mainly what inspires me to consume less.
Yes.
That’s too bad. I’m lucky enough to have clean and tasty water flowing from the taps – unlike in many parts of the world
Thanks for replying:) But how can it explain the fact that the average temperatures across the globe started rising only recently ? (past century or so ?)
Even if there were only 100 million people in the world, I think there would still be starvation. 1 million of the greediest people would hog all the resources and manipulate all the other people into fighting each other …
Yeah!
What is the accuracy of the 1900′s thermometers versus today! I am not denying the temperature is increasing BUT I would be concerned about the RATE increases rather than MAGNITUDE INCREASES!
As Sarah said, the least you consume the least you pollute!
Very small amounts, not enough to catapult you into the Universe at warp speeds!
Everything we do in life is bad? It amazes me how the human species have grown!
Great!
At least we agree on something!
Thanks “rangatira”!
Try some more chlorine in water! Sometimes I wonder if the geane pool could do with some more chlorine too!
One child per women, don’t know about that!
What would women be doing for the rest of the time! I suppose there is always nagging and thanks God for viagara!
FACT: The world has enough resources for 12 billion people and not just 6.4billion as it currently stands.
The issue is inequality and NOT quantity!
Just imagine everyone had good water! Some have more than enough to fill a private swimming pool other’s would be lucky to have a drop to drink!
Where is the EQUALITY?
Every little bit helps, both on the consumption and recycling ends of the cycle.
ONE THING ILL NEVER DO
hitchhike.
And you probably shouldnt give people the idea that hitchhiking is good
Because the pedos will kill us all!
these ideas might help slow down the process of global warming… but regarding the issue on stopping… that’s a different case
Yes, I think you’re right. A silly title really …
Thx for the reply, but i do agree with you that its more than necessary for people to start caring about earth.
We just did a reflection paper on “An Inconvenient Truth” for our environmental science class. I’ve watched the film myself for more than 3 times, and it still pains me everytime to see how people lack the consciousness on such serious matters
I didn’t know you could stop something that doesn’t exist.
