Many of the countries are very rich e.g Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, etc. But the main problem is that these countries are not very advanced in technology. The modern day technology is one of the most promising steps that can help with global warming. Development of fuel efficient cars, machines, powerhouses, etc, can all help reduce the ever rising temperature of the earth. But all the Muslim countries are not that much advanced in these fields. There is but one belief that they have regarding global warming.
The earth has to end one day. If the cause for that is global warming, then whatever we all do, it’s not going to help. If it is not the cause, then some solution will present itself in due course of time.

Muslims the world over view global warming as a threat to their way of life, and increasingly Muslim leaders are coming together with leaders from various other faiths to combat it. In the United States for instance, they are planning trees and maintaining them as a method to reduce the impact of global warming. According to some Muslim leaders the Quran expects Muslims to be protectors of the environment. The link below describes how Muslims are fighting global warming.
