Are you doing your part to help stop the climate crisis?

I know we will probably fail in the mission unless the US and China agree to cut CO2 emissions, but do you feel you are doing your part, or could you be doing more?

Answer:
YOU COULD BE - turn off you PC - Global warming is a tax raising myth created by politicians eager to suck you dry by taxation.

FACT - BY SCIENTISTS - the Earth has done this time and time again over MILLIONS of years.
If the government want us to cut down on the use of electricity
etc why are they letting more and more people into the country to use even more and then expect us to turn down the heating, buy low energy light bulbs etc. No I dont think so!
I suspect that dancing around a fire stomping our feet and singing "hi yi yi yi hi yi yi yi" would be just about as useful as anything else you could suggest we do about it.
Well the first step to doing something is recognising that there is a problem so making the idiots who say it's not happening look like idiots is a good first step.

http://gristmill.grist.org/skeptics... refutes the supposed 'skeptics' who dispute global warming.

Then there's the usual stuff about not driving a gas guzzler (i.e. not supporting local industry), supporting nuclear power, etc.
yes and its a waste of time.
Bestonnet - I think this is better than the gristmill site, more science and data:

This is a huge problem. We can all personally do our part, but we need to get the government doing its' part, too. Developing alternative energy, higher gas mileage standards for cars, etc.
i agree with jamand, it is scientific fact that the earth has been doing what it has been doing for billions of years. we cannot stop volcanic eruptions from happening, we cannot stop floods from happening, we cannot stop storms from occuring. it isn't just trees that absorb the co2 that we exhale out it is all the plants as well. the earth is only doing what it already had been for years, i only use the energy saving light bulbs to save myself money on my electric bill.
Global warming is a hoax, UNPROVEN, based on Junk science, time will prove me right. The reason you cant stand to hear the facts is because you are blinded by propaganda. And don't think I'm some kind of right wing anti-environmentalist, i am not. I study the facts and do not allow the media to guide my decisions.
Since you asked do I feel that I am doing my part to stop the climate crisis, I am doing what I can. I recycle, try to cut down on electricity. Every little thing helps. Did anyone actually answer your question?

Does it really matter anyway what you believe to be true or not? We should stop being such a wasteful society anyway just for the sake of a healthy planet, clean streams, lots of forests, etc. for future generations. Even if you don't believe in global warming what is wrong with being conservative of mother nature's resources, recycling, saving energy etc. You don't pollute your homes with garbage, why pollute the planet?

Yes redneck, time will tell. Right now there is a lot of evidence out there to prove global warming is happening and then there is the other side. People will line up on either side. Me, I'm on the side of saving the planet and our living space. You seem to be on the side of destroying it because you won't give an inch. When the end comes, it will be you and those that think like you that will be crying and wondering what happened.
No i am not , i have no children , ( by choice i think lol, who knows) . So i don't give a shyt what happens to the world when i die , i,m gone gone forever so who gives a shyt ??
I have no such part. I do what I can to not pollute and to conserve where possible, but my role in helping stop global warming is non-existent.
Yes save gas fart in a bottle
Adrian,

If Global Warming is so real, why were scientist predicting the next ice age in the 70's?
No its all a load of tripe
yes i joined realcycle it's all about keeping items out of landfill's

To help stop the crisis, I am exposing the lies, deceptions, exaggerations and alarmist propaganda of the Al Gore lobby
Not only them 2 but the world as a whole.Of course, as the richest and most industrialised or fast growing countries, they've got to act seriously.
For my part, I recycle and use energy saving light bulbs.
We also have only one car and I use the public transports.
We try to buy organic or fairtrade. We get our own bags.
I think it's still far from enough...
i do some of the things recommended like walking to the corner instead of hopping in the car just for bread & milk. .

Re-USING as well as just recycling. ie tupperware instead of saran wrap wherever possible

ride the bike where possible
noones denying global warming! You do realise that co2 emmisions do not cause global warming. Go watch 'The great global warming swindle' and learn the facts and stop being so ignorant
Nope. Not in the slightest. I find the attack on my Life Style by this liberal mob and the smoking ban to much to take.

I will be increasing my Carbon foot print from now on as I jet off to different European city's once or twice a month to enjoy a smoke with my beer.
Yes, I am in my very small way to reduce, reuse and recycle. I also avoid excess travel that is unnecessary.
