Sooner or later the environment of our Earth will return to what scientists believe to be a normal state. Yes, that will most certainly happen, even if all life on Earth no longer exists. You see, Mankind is the main cause for global warming and Mankind can be the main cause of putting things right within the environment again. However, at this time, it seems that Mankind isn't smart enough to live in harmony with Nature, and you now see the result of that fact.

Then again, it's those "green friendly" people and those scientists who are the ones that brought the problem of global warming to the attention of the leaders of the World. Now, those World leaders know what is required in order for the people of the World to save themselves a whole lot grief, suffering and also prevent the deaths and the loss of property of millions of people. Well, your guess is as good as mine, in regard to the leaders of our World who will try to fix that problem as soon as possible.

You see, the use of fossil fuels rises each day because more and more people are driving fossil fuel powered vehicles. How many more people in China will buy and drive those, what can turn out to be, weapons of mass destruction? The burning of fossil fuels is the main cause for global warming. Pollution spewing factories, utility power companies and the millions of fossil fuel powered modes of transportation are the greatest destroyers of the environment and each of those polluters are man-made.

As a result of countless hours of analysis and investigation, the only way to reverse global warming is to burn less fossil fuels, which will reduce the amount carbon within our atmosphere. If I was one of the World leaders, I would build as many factories as I could in order to remove as much carbon from the atmosphere as possible.

Yes, the energy required to power those factories would be gathered by solar cells, produced by wind powered generators and/or the force of running water. In other words, instead of burning fossil fuels as a means to create energy, I would use each and every "green friendly" source of energy that I could use.

Those same "green friendly" sources of energy could also produce electricity for our homes and vehicles. Yes, the start up costs for such an environment saving solution will be huge, but in the long run tens of millions of people will be saved, together with their property and several million of square miles of land that won't be covered by water if the ice caps and ice fields in Greenland stop melting.

We do have a problem and we do have some ways to stop and even reverse the effects of global warming. Will Mankind now act in a timely and constructive manner? Your guess is as good as mine.
