What would be my valuable contribution in solving the worsening global warming problem?
Answer:
I do not like to dis-illusion you..for you seem to be a nice young person who is trying to be loyal and helpful and all that. However, there is no such thing as global warming. This whole idea is a political ploy to end up raising our taxes.you might like to do some research pro and con...and draw your own conclusions. Best wishes.
You exhale CO2, therefore, stop breathing.
Global Warming is a LIE created by the extreme rich. They want to destroy the middle class through taxation, leaving only the very rich and very poor, and then it will be easier for them to create a North American Union, and eventually a one-world government.
The earth has been heating and cooling since the beginning of time. The computer forecasting models leave out important information... like the heating and cooling of the sun, and sun spots.
Weather models cant get the weather for tomorrow correct... yet they can predict 10-60 years into the future. right.
Many of the things that have been done so far for Global Warming has been much worse for the environment then what we had before... such as Ethanol, which causes emissions as bad as or worse then patrolium, and is causing the deforestation to grow corn or sugar cane.

Global what? No such thing. Do some research and you will see that the earth changes temperature trends cyclicly. The notion of so-called "Global Warming" is a political ploy.
Well, first learn to speak English a little better. Sad that you are a "high school" student who writes SO poorly.
Plant some trees! THAT is all you need to do! Then, when the weather starts to turn cold again, you can take ALL the credit! HOW is it worsening? It is summer! It is supposed to be HOT! *shrug*
The only thing you can do today to know for a fact that you are contributing less to global warming is to use less electricity. Switch to the new light bulbs and conserve whenever you can. If everyone did this,. well you understand.
Recycling also helps. Aluminum is the most plentiful metal on Earth but it takes a lot of electricity to refine it from ore. If you recycle 1 aluminum can you save enough electricity to run your computer for an hour. Amazing isn't it?
Well, I just graduated but, the last few years I was in a club at my school aimed at helping the environment and getting the word out about things going on on this planet, such as global warming and recycling.
If you don't have a club like that to join at your school, start one up yourself! Some people will probably make remarks to you either way. What I mean by that is, people, even some of my good friends, would call me a "treehugger" or they would say I'm crazy and would roll their eyes at me.
But remember, the more you stand by your position, the more people will remember what you say and respect your opinion.
Work with your personality and abilities. If you like farming, you may be able to grow switchgrass or christmas trees. If you like public speaking, you may be able to do Al Gore-like things. If you are into computers, you may be able to help with climate models, or IT support of them.
You can simply reduce the amount of electricity used daily. This would reduce the emmision of carbon dioxide which causes global warming.
Walk a little more. Avoid buying machine made products (corporate cr@p). And don't listen to people who don't know what they are talking about. You are in for some very interesting times in your 30's and 40's.
This might sound a little odd at first but read the facts.
Fight Global Warming by Going Vegetarian
According to the United Nations, the meat industry “emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.”
Global warming has been called humankind’s “greatest challenge” and the world’s most grave environmental threat.1 The scientific community says that there is no doubt that global warming is real and that humans are largely to blame. Human activities are emitting vast amounts of “greenhouse gases” that prevent heat from escaping from the Earth’s atmosphere. Scientists report that this phenomenon will increasingly lead to catastrophic natural disasters, such as more frequent and intense droughts, floods, and hurricanes; rising sea levels; and more disease outbreaks. Scientists also warn that global warming threatens the lives of millions of humans and countless other animals. Many conscientious people are trying to help reduce global warming by driving more fuel-efficient cars and using energy-saving light bulbs. Although this helps, science shows that going vegetarian is perhaps the most effective way to fight global warming.
In a groundbreaking 2006 report, the United Nations (U.N.) said that raising animals for food generates more greenhouse gases than all the cars and trucks in the world combined. Senior U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization official Henning Steinfeld reported that the meat industry is “one of the most significant contributors to today’s most serious environmental problems.”2
Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide together cause the vast majority of global warming. Raising animals for food is one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide and the single largest source of both methane and nitrous oxide emissions.
Carbon Dioxide: The burning of fossil fuels (such as oil and gasoline) releases carbon dioxide, the primary gas responsible for global warming. Producing one calorie of animal protein requires more than 10 times as much fossil fuel input—releasing more than 10 times as much carbon dioxide—than does a calorie of plant protein.3 Feeding massive amounts of grain and water to farmed animals and then killing them and processing, transporting, and storing their flesh is extremely energy-intensive. In addition, enormous amounts of carbon dioxide stored in trees are released during the destruction of vast acres of forest to provide pastureland and to grow crops for farmed animals. On top of this, animal manure also releases large quantities of carbon dioxide.
You could exchange your “regular” car for a hybrid Toyota Prius and, by doing so, prevent about 1 ton of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year, but according to the University of Chicago, being vegan is more effective in the fight against global warming; a vegan prevents approximately 1.5 fewer tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year than a meat-eater does.4 The math is simple: You could spend more than $20,000 on a Prius and still emit 50 percent more carbon dioxide than you would if you just gave up eating meat and other animal products.
Methane: The billions of chickens, turkeys, pigs, and cows who are crammed into factory farms each year in the U.S. produce enormous amounts of methane, both during digestion and from the acres of cesspools filled with feces that they excrete. Scientists report that every pound of methane is more than 20 times as effective as carbon dioxide is at trapping heat in our atmosphere.5 The Environmental Protection Agency shows that animal agriculture is the single largest source of methane emissions in the U.S.6
Nitrous Oxide: Nitrous oxide is about 300 times more potent as a global warming gas than carbon dioxide. According to the U.N., the meat, egg, and dairy industries account for a staggering 65 percent of worldwide nitrous oxide emissions.7
You Can Help Stop Global Warming!
The most powerful step that we can take as individuals to avert global warming is to stop eating meat, eggs, and dairy products.
The simplest thing I can do as an individual, without needing anyone elses perticipation, yet it makes the biggest difference. I wish I would have known sooner. I feel better now about myself now not only as far as my conscious goes but my mental an physical health as well. I foud this info at goveg.com, there's a lot more.
