What the meaning of global warming & how we can change our life stayle to prevent our envirornment.?
Answer:
There are two sources of Global warming.
One us due to natural processes over which humans have no control
The other source is green house gases emitted as a result of human activity.
The scientifc literature is conflicting with respect to the amount of the contribution from each source.
To eliminate the contribution from human activity would require that we shut down virtually all human activity that uses carbon based fossil fuels.
Developing countries such as India and The People's Republic of China feel they should be exempted, from restrictions on the amount of greenhouse gases they can produce.
The developing countries say that only the developed countries should be forced to cut back.
However if the developing countries are exempted you will not be able to eliminate the contribution to Global Warming that is made by green house gases emitted as a result of human activity.
The bottom line is that you cannot change your lifestyle enough to prevent Global Warming. Also, for Global Warming to be prevented you would have to shut down the economiesof the developing countries as well.
The amount of the cutbacks that are necessary to stop Global Warming are so large and so painful that no country has the political will to make those sacrifices for any length of time.
Right now the only cutbacks proposed are merely public relations gestures to make people feel good about themselves without really having ot make the very painful sacrifices that would be necessary to stop Global Warming.

Global warming is still uncertain, but there are signs, but they tend to be contradicting. There is a huge hole in the Ozone layer above all of Antarctica, and the glaciers there seem to be melting faster than in the past. Also the hole in the Ozone layer is down there, and where there is no Ozone, a greenhouse effect builds up. What is happening in Antarctica could turn into a disaster, some say if nothing is done in the next 5 years, there will be noticable catastrophies.
Global Warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans. Global average air temperature near the Earth’s surface has risen drastically. It will certain bring disastrous changes like sea level rise, floods & drought, extreme weather conditions, lesser agricultural yields, glacier retreat, and many more. We can do a lot to protect our environment for example -
1.SAVING ELECTRICITY (SWITCH OFF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, COMPUTERS, TV ETC. WHEN NOT IN USE).
2. USING JUTE BAGS OR PLASTIC BAGS
3. USING COMPACT FLOURESCENT LIGHTS (CFLs)
4. USING CAR POOLS / PUBLIC TRANSPORT
5.ADOPTING A TREE
6.SAVING & CONSERVING WATER AND HARVESTING RAIN WATER
7.PROPERLY DISPOSING OF E-WASTE
8.USING SOLAR ENERGY FOR COOKING / HEATING / LIGHTING
9. AVOIDING ELEVATOR AND WALKING WHEREVER POSSIBLE
10.REDUCING A/C CONSUMPTION
11.PRINTING ON BOTH SIDES OF PAPER
12. REGULAR MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLES TO CONTROL AIR POLLUTION
12. USING NATURAL RESOURCES TO MEET UNAVOIDABLE NEEDS ONLY.
Visit this site have a look at the Renewable Energies that can be used that will not contribute Co2 to the atmosphere. Then look at the HOW TO HELP page and you will find there are other ways to help reduce global warming.
http://www.ozenergy.net
global warming is the increase in temperature of the earth due to green house effect or may be some other factor was working
(i have read an article some days ago saying co2 ,green house gases are not responsible this increase )
due to this polar ice is melting and sea level is rising
you can change the your lifestyle to help. recycling,energy conservation ,avoid vehicle running on fuel (you can try bicycle
that will keep you fit also)
byderule tells you the best answer.
we can only prolong a little about maintaining the plannet in habitat condition. gradual warming of globe is a natural phenomena. manmade conditions may add a little. some plannets will have a phenomena of getting colder and cold and some hotter and hot. it depends on the distance at which the plannet is located from the sun(star).
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation.
Global average air temperature near the Earth's surface rose 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.3 ± 0.32 °F) during the past century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the observed increase in globally averaged temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations,"[1] which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect. Natural phenomena such as solar variation combined with volcanoes have probably had a small warming effect from pre-industrial times to 1950, but a small cooling effect since 1950.[2][3] These basic conclusions have been endorsed by at least 30 scientific societies and academies of science, including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries. The American Association of Petroleum Geologists is the only scientific society that rejects these conclusions,[4][5] and a few individual scientists also disagree with parts of them.[6]
Climate models referenced by the IPCC project that global surface temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100.[1] The range of values reflects the use of differing scenarios of future greenhouse gas emissions and results of models with differences in climate sensitivity. Although most studies focus on the period up to 2100, warming and sea level rise are expected to continue for more than a millennium even if greenhouse gas levels are stabilized. [1] This reflects the large heat capacity of the oceans.
An increase in global temperatures can in turn cause other changes, including sea level rise, and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation resulting in floods and drought[7]. There may also be changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, though it is difficult to connect specific events to global warming. Other effects may include changes in agricultural yields, glacier retreat, reduced summer streamflows, species extinctions and increases in the ranges of disease vectors.
Remaining scientific uncertainties include the exact degree of climate change expected in the future, and how changes will vary from region to region around the globe. There is ongoing political and public debate regarding what, if any, action should be taken to reduce or reverse future warming or to adapt to its expected consequences. Most national governments have signed and ratified the Kyoto Protocol aimed at combating greenhouse gas emissions.
The meaning is "pay more" what can you do to stop it? nothing, it is a lie.
