what can we do to delay the time before we reach the 6 degree elevation

If there is one episode in the Earth’s history that we should try above all not to repeat, it is surely the catastrophe that befell the planet at the end of the Permian period, 251 million years ago. By the end of this calamity, up to 95% of species were extinct. The end-Permian wipeout is the nearest this planet has ever come to becoming just another lifeless rock drifting through space. The precise cause remains unclear, but what is undeniable is that the end-Permian mass extinction was associated with a super-greenhouse event. Oxygen isotopes in rocks dating from the time suggest that temperatures rose by six degrees.One scientific paper investigating “kill mechanisms” during the end-Permian suggests that methane hydrate explosions “could destroy terrestrial life almost entirely”. Acting much like today’s fuel-air explosives (or “vacuum bombs”), major oceanic methane eruptions could release energy equivalent to 10,000 times the world’s stockpile of nuclear weapons.

MNC is?

CO2 emission increasing everyday. I remember of reading an article in Reader's Digest about an Indian guy trying to reduce CO2 emission by changing the normal light bulb to CFLs. It seem that this CFLs not only reduce CO2 emission, but it also cut the energy use to light the bulbs. It would be great if we can urge our community to change their bulb in order to reduce the CO2 emission and at the same time, saving energy.

ppl always said that carpooling is one of the way. if it is just one person doin it, i dont think it will work efficiently. what we can do is try to educate and tell people of how dangerous it is global warming. Even now if you open MSN, u can see images of the snowiest whiteout to have ever hit the eastern USA. ppl only see a lot of snow, but they dont think of why its happen.

hahaha..that is why i said, if it is juz u doin it, it wont make any big difference. Some might love to drive their own cars.

try to make ppl realize how bad it is global warming. that is what im doing now.

no doubt that we cant stop it. This is not like 2012, do you mind to share your thoughts on how to delay it?

you can read about it in the previous page

mind to share what you got in your mind after you read it?I only found out this thing during my class.
