what can i do to help prevent climate change?

Change a light - Replace a regular lighbulb with a fluorscent saves 150 pounds of carbon dioxided each year.

Drive less -walk bike carpool taks mass transit and or trip chain. All of these things can help reduce consumption and one pound of carbon dioxide for each mie you do not drive.

Recycle more and buy recycled - save up to 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide each year just by recycling half of you house hold waste. By recycling and buying products with recycled content you also save energy.

Check your tires - properly inflated tires mean good gass mileage. For each gallon of gass saved 20 pounds of caron dioxide are also never produced.

Use less hot water - it takes alot of ebergy to heat water. reducing the amount used means big saving in noy only your energy bills, but also carbon dioxide emissions. Using cold water for your wash saves 500 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.

Avoid products with alot of packaging - preventing waste from being created in the first place means that there is less energy waste and fewer resourse consumed.

Adjust your thermostat - keeping your termostat at 69 degrees in water and 78 degrees in the summer not only helps with your energy bill but it reduce carbon dioxide emission as well.

Plant a tree - a single tree can absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its lifetime.

Turn off electronic devices when not use.(TV, DVD, VCR, Computer and etc) - simple turning off your TV, VCR< computer and other electronic devices can save each household thousand of pounds of carbon dioxide each year.

Government Warning On Climate Change-Critical Moment

this video is just a little summary about "governemnts warning on climate change" and its critical moment.

When did climate change start?

The earth has been warming up since the industrial age. the machines of modern life and the fuels that powered them began to change the climate. but scientist say climate change began way earlier as in a thousands years ago.

climate change is a change in the statistical distrubution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. this can be changed in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average.

when the governemnt is faced with a new requirement such as climate change. there are many critical steps needed to allow us to take care of the problem. first they need to validate if there is a preoblem and they need to classify its type. then they to assure that allocating that responsibility to an agency.

in governemnt everything must join the queue so climate change have to wait untill our pulp mill approcals were out of the way. then the government needs to prepare position on each of the might be involved. in the case if climate change.

Government Study Warns of Climate Change Effects

the impact of changeing climate is already being felt across the united states. for example:
like shifting migration patterns of butterflies in the west of heavier downpours and in the mid-west and east.

powerful tropical storms and erosion of oceans coastlines caused by melting arctic ice. the cities are increaseing in drought in the southwest and more intense heat waves in the northeast

Government Climate Control

Everyone seems to agree that something needs to be done to insure that the Earth is around for the next several generations. There is no guaranteed way to monitor countries and insure they adhere to any agreements. And most importantly, no country wants to do anything until someone else does it first.

Governments can talk continually about making changes but actions speak louder than words ever will. The only way for government climate change talks to do any good is if one country begins to follow through on the changes suggested. One country at a time is the way that climate control talks will begin to protect the Earth for future generations.

the recent Climate Change summit held in Copenhagen was a failure. The major goal of the Conference was to create a Copenhagen Protocol that would come into effect when the Kyoto Protocol runs out in 2012..
