No. The earth is on a cycle of cold, hot, cold, hot. We came out of the cold, now we're moving to the hot. If you killed every human today the earth would still keep warming up. It will do so until we all die off, then repair all the damage we caused, then cool, then it will all start over again with another species.

The energy we use at home accounts for about a fifth of U.S. global warming pollution. That means making smart choices at home matters. Heating and cooling This is a top home energy user, with the average household producing about four tons of heat-trapping pollution a year. It is heavily influenced by weather. For example, a relatively cold 1996 led to an increase in heat-trapping emissions compared to the previous year. But the next year, a warmer winter helped emissions dip bit. Warmer summers increase greenhouse gas pollution, too, from heavy air conditioning use. Despite the relative warm or coolness of the season, the U.S. emits a harmful amount of global warming pollution. Even as the weather varies, your choices can help spew less global warming pollution. - In summer, keep shades drawn to keep the cool in. - In winter, open shades to let the sunlight to help warm rooms. - In winter, keep your thermostat cooler at night or when the house is empty. - Install a programmable thermostat to heat and cool rooms only when necessary. - Plant trees around your house to cut cooling costs in summer. - Insulate your walls and ceilings. - Install a light-colored or reflective roof. - Consumer Reports also offers more detailed ratings and green buying guides for air conditioners, including central cooling systems. Appliances After heating, refrigerators and freezers are generally the home's next two big energy eaters. Other appliances follow closely. Together, these items account for nearly eight tons of heat-trapping emissions per household per year. Upgrade to Energy Star products. Not all appliances are equal. Whether you're in the market for a new fridge, toaster or air conditioner, look for Energy Star choices, which offer the best energy savings. Size counts. When in the market for an appliance, make sure you buy what suits your needs. Items too large or too small waste electricity and your money. Unplug. Your electric meter is often adding up kilowatt hours when you don’t think you’re using an appliance. Unplug toasters and cell phone and other chargers when they’re not in use. Don't use air fresheners that have to be plugged in. Use power strips. Cable boxes and video game boxes, and to a lesser extent TVs and VCRs, use almost as much energy when they're off as when they're on. Make it easy to turn them all the way off—plug them into a power strip and turn off the whole strip. Consumer Reports also offers more detailed ratings and green buying guides for appliances, from vacuum cleaners to laundry machines. Lighting Lighting accounts for about 21 percent of commercial energy consumption and about 12 percent of home energy consumption. In terms of heat-trapping pollution, that means the lights in the average household produce just over a ton of carbon dioxide each year. Here are a few steps to lower those numbers. Use energy-efficient lights. Changing just one 75-watt bulb to a compact fluorescent light cuts roughly 1,300 pounds of global warming pollution. They also last up to 15 times as long and save you money. (Learn how to pick the best bulbs.) Turn off lights. A good chunk of lighting expenses is from rooms that stay unnecessarily lit. Use natural light. Open shades and use sunlight to help light rooms. Install motion-sensors so that lights automatically turn on when someone is in the room and turn off when empty. Green Energy Does your electric company sell energy from renewable sources, like wind and solar? More than forty states in the U.S. now offer cleaner energy. Find out more about home energy choices. Other energy efficient choices for your home - Use the energy saver cycle on your dishwasher and only run it when full. - Wash clothes in warm or cold water, not hot. - Turn down your water heater to 120°Fahrenheit. - Clean or replace the air filter on your air conditioner. - Install low-flow shower heads to use less hot water. - Caulk and weatherstrip around doors and windows. - Ask your utility company for a free home energy audit. Choose food thoughtfully Raising meat contributes more global warming emissions than raising crops. Cutting back on meat even once a week can make a difference.

Enjoy life! Gw is a hoax. My 2 cents. http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/Articles%202007/GWHoaxBorn.pdf

Find a way to make the one and only source of heat, light, and energy, the earth has, the sun, to burn at a lower temperature. Until then, recycle, drive hybrids, 'live green' all you want, it's not a bad thing, but if you think that will change the temperature of the sun, good luck to you. Still, many of us are still stuck on what we could do to avoid the next ice age like they told us about in the late 70s. Funny thing. Recycling, using public transportation, and raising taxes for government to be able to act and do something is the same remedy for both global freezing and global warming. Funny how that works.

FIrst off, stop buying into the hysteria. Let the experts battle it out to find out there is no global warming, then decide to do nothing about it, and all will be well. The global warming wack jobs are only trying to spawn their new cottage industries of green stuff. It is all bullshit. Al Gore should do a movie where he actually tells people the truth.
-
we can Shut Al Gore up... That might help... That or cool the Sun down...
-
You can't it's all natural and will happen again and again, just as ice ages have. We humans are so arrogant to actually think we can change nature on a large scale like this...WE CAN'T EVEN PREDICT THE WEATHER!

Install Compact Fluorescent light bulbs. .. ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer. .. Save about $30 or more in electricity costs over each bulb's lifetime. .. Produce about 75 percent less heat, so they're safer to operate and can cut energy costs associated with home cooling.
-
Drive less. Walk, ride a bike, carpool, take the train or bus.
-
Global Warming is Inevitable do what ever you want recyle, Poison Mercury Fluorescent Light Bulbs it not going to make no diffrence
-
Start planting some trees.
-
Build nuclear power plants. Stop the government from paying for people to have babies.
-
Push the brake pedal. My 2 cents.

You Can't, but you can slow it down by re introducing waters back into the drained wetlands, divert some of the excess water back into dried up lakes etc .. things along these lines it requires a collective effort and I doubt that that will happen as that will only lessen the effects not stop it and bullets and wars are cheaper than finding and working on real solutions to problems, where there's money to be made and all that ... ~Nemo~

Yes, I think we can, but in order to do so, we must start acting Now. Recycling and cleaning the oceans isn't enough, we really need to stop Nucluar power because that is what's the cause of it is. And whoever says that Global warming does not exsist is totally WRONG. It IS real and it IS happening now. It's what is making the ice melt in Alaska or where ever it is. I forget the place. Also the reason it is nucleur is because all the chemicles that is spread by Nucleur, is trapped within the like apnosphy and so when the sun shines, the heat that we get from the sun, bouces off the chemicals and so therefore, it's trapped. Sorry if this isn;t a very good example, Im not bright at science, but I do remember a few lessons about this at school. Someone else might give a better example.
