The effects of Global warming can be slowed down and even stopped, by not using as much power i.e. turning off lights when you leave the room (it is really that simple), and only using renewable sources, such as bio-fuels like crops, and solar power from the sun, people also no have the power to create energy from water, with dams, energy from the wind, using turbines, and creating energy from the tides. The energy resources, cost more money than non-renewable energy, but non-renewable energy's real cost is the Earth and all the beautiful creatures that live on it, so really a few more dollars is well worth it. These energy producers do not produce carbon dioxide, and there for are good clean producers of energy, and they are the friends of the world and the wider man kind.
