Global Warming

It is clearly evident that the earth is getting warmer and our climate is changing. The great debate is to what extent human activity is having on this development. It could be a combination of human activity, volcanic activity, and other natural causes that is increasing the level of green house gases in the atmosphere. How should we address this issue?
Businesses are worried that tougher restrictions on carbon emmissions and energy consumption could be mean less profits. This would be disastorous for an economy already in a state of recession. This could also lead to higher prices for goods and services.
The solution should be simple. If we make a concerted effort to reduce our energy consumption at home we can help to limit the green house effect. Fluorescent lights, walking more, electric cars, and a whole lot of other great options will help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce the amount of Green House gas in the atmosophere.
Think about a few ways that you can reduce your energy consumption.
