It is no secret that our planet is going through Global Warming because we can see it with the polar ice caps melting and the ever changing weather patterns. The good thing is that there are things we can do to improve the effects of Global Warming and this will help to save the planet we live in.

The first thing you can do is to save on fuel cost when driving. It is easy to say just go out an buy an hybrid and that will fix everything but this is not a realistic solution for everyone to do. You can however do some simple things to save on fuel cost such as making sure that the tires on your car are inflated to the right psi. Also you want to make sure that the filters on your car are changed on a regular basis this will help to make your car more efficient.

Next you can do recycling because this will help to cut down in the amount of new products needed for our consumption. These new bottles and cans will find there way to the land fields and just sit there. If you recycle you will be breaking this cycle and it will make it better for everyone.

Also you want to make some changes with your appliances in your home. You can use energy saving appliances and this will cut down on energy consumption and save cost as well. You want to make sure that when you go to purchase a new appliance that you check to see if it is energy efficient.

Remember that the way we stop Global Warming is that we all do little things that will save energy and together we can correct it.

Everyday people worry, some worry about how to pay their bills and others may worry about losing their job, these are very common fears that have been around for centuries and will probably continue to plague mankind for many more, but over the past few decades the number of things people worry about has been rising at a dramatic rate and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Worrying can also affect your health in many ways by upsetting your sleep schedule or eating habits, worrying can also cause some people to abuse alcohol or start taking drugs.

Some things we worry about we can actually have an effect on such as paying our bills, for example if you worry about being able to pay your bills then you might try to get a second job or cut back on your spending so you would then be able to pay off the bills, but many things people worry about are beyond an individuals control, things like Terrorism, Nuclear Proliferation, and Global Warming.

Worrying about things like Global Warming accomplish nothing positive, in fact at this point we have not even proved that Global Warming is real, let alone that we as humans caused it or can affect it either way so why worry about it.

One very effective way to stop worrying about things beyond your control is to develop a fun list, a fun list is nothing more then things you really like to do, things that you can do to keep yourself busy whenever you start to worry about things like Global Warming.

Here is an example of a fun list:

1. Walk your dog.

2. Flirt with someone you have a secret crush on.

3. Play free arcade games.

4. Go fishing.

5. Read a book.

7. Ride a bicycle.

8. Surf the net.

9. Exercise.

10. Clean your house.

Whenever you catch yourself worrying about things beyond your control you should think of your list and pick one and start doing it right away and keep doing it until your forget all about whatever you were worrying about, at first you may have to do this many times a day but it should become less and less frequent as time goes on and before you know it you will stop worrying about things beyond your control and you will have a much better attitude and hopefully a healthier and happier life.

So remember the next time you start to worry about something out of your control like Global Warming or Nuclear Proliferation to stop and take a deep breath and then do something on your list right away like play some free arcade games and enjoy yourself instead of worrying. If you do this you will live a happier and healthier life.

There is a lot of debate going on regarding whether Global Warming is actually here or not. Many of the world’s leading scientists are saying that Global Warming has already arrived, so there is very little anyone can do to stop it; however, there are steps that people can take in order to reduce the effect of Global Warming. At this point, doing as much as one can do reduce the effects is essential, which means making some sacrifices and making some big changes in how one lives their life. Whether Global Warming is already here or has not quite arrived yet, it is best to start making the healthy changes now; healthy changes that will not only help them, but will also greatly help the natural environment.

How much does one have to change their life? Really, it all depends on how the person lives their life now. If a person already lives a very green life, then they will not have to change a lot; however, a person who is used to living in a way that takes a large toll on the environment will have to make some big changes. First, a person should live in a smaller home. Larger homes are only a drain on the resources and are one of the largest greenhouse grass producers, after vehicles, businesses and factories. Getting rid of the old car and purchasing a hybrid, riding a bicycle or just walking are other things a person needs to do to reduce the effects of Global Warming. Becoming more environmental in general, by planting trees, purchasing local foods, re-using more, recycling more, avoiding plastic and paper when possible and doing what they can to their house to reduce energy consumption are all ways that can reduce the effects of global warming.

All it takes is one person to become greener in how they live. It only takes one person changing how they live to a better way of life to bring out the same kind of change in others. That one person who shares their ideas will influence others who will think the changes are a good idea and start to make the same changes in their own lives. Those people will then influence others in the same way. People will often forget the power that one person has in influencing change; one person has the power to make all the difference in the world when they put their energy into it.

James Nash asked:


President George W. Bush once famously declared: “I’m the decider, and I decide what’s best.” But when it comes to environmental issues, especially global warming, Bush often sounds more like the dissembler than the decider.

Throughout his presidency, Bush’s so-called leadership on global climate change has lurched from outright stonewalling in the early years, when he refused to discuss or even acknowledge the issue, to misdirection and political sleight-of-hand.

Speaking recently from the White House Rose Garden to consider new climate change strategies, the president set what he called a “realistic” national goal to stop the growth of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2025.

Unfortunately, the president offers no actual plan for achieving the new goal, instead calling on Congress to find some way to make it happen. More to the point, the goal itself falls far short of what many scientists believe must be done to prevent the most catastrophic effects of global warming, which is to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions at least 15-20 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050, not simply to stop emissions from increasing.

Bush believes that it is possible to protect the environment without hurting the economy, and said any new policies or legislation must strike that balance. Bush thinks advanced technology is the key to solving global warming and recommended incentives that would make it more cost-effective for businesses to adopt new clean-energy technology instead of sticking with old systems that emit more greenhouse gases. Again, he never offered a plan for how to get the job done.

Bush praises his administration for increasing the use of wind and solar power and called for continuing investments in renewable energy and carbon sequestration, but he points to nuclear energy and coal – including so-called “clean coal” – as the keys to America’s “energy and economic security.”

The president says his administration has provided “billions of dollars for next generation nuclear energy technologies” and “in 2009 alone, the government and the private sector plan to dedicate nearly a billion dollars to clean coal research and development.”

Bush criticizes U.S. courts for applying what he considers narrow and outdated laws to a broad issue such as global warming. Specifically, he says “the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the National Environmental Policy Act were never meant to regulate global climate.” He took a slap at the U.S. Supreme Court decision that the Clean Air Act gives the EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.

The president believes stretching environment laws “beyond their original intent” could force the federal government to act like a local planning and zoning board and to regulate a wide range of small energy users and producers – from schools and stores to hospitals and apartment buildings – which he says would have “crippling effects on our entire economy.”

In discussing various vague strategies that might help fight global warming, the president rejects tax increases, tariffs, trade barriers, and regulations that might lead to higher costs for businesses. Instead, Bush recommends creation of an international clean technology fund “that will help finance low-emissions energy projects in the developing world” and called on all nations “to help spark a global clean energy revolution by agreeing immediately to eliminate trade barriers on clean energy goods and services.”

Many concerned observers are unimpressed with the president’s new strategy to address the problems of greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.

“Unfortunately, President Bush retains the mantle of the most anti-environmental president in history,” stated Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters, in a telephone interview with The Guardian. Karpinski pointed out that Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign promise to cap global warming pollution from power plants was never honored. “Since that time, all we’ve had is empty words but no serious action.”

“This basically sounds like the same quarterback calling the same play,” said Daniel J. Weiss, director of climate strategy at the Center for American Progress, in an interview with the Washington Post. “It’s just another way of Bush saying no.”

President Bush believes that the strategy he has laid out shows faith in the ingenuity and enterprise of the American people – and that’s a resource that will never run out. He is confident that with sensible and balanced policies from Washington, American innovators and entrepreneurs will pioneer a new generation of technology that improves our environment, strengthens our economy, and continues to amaze the world.

Let’s hope so, because the only amazing thing about the president’s strategy for greenhouse gas emissions and global warming is its lack of any real effort to address such serious problems.
