Where affordable, we can conserve energy by better insulating our homes and buildings, and by replacing old, failing appliances with more energy-efficient models. Where practicable, we can counterbalance our annual carbon dioxide emissions by investing in commercial services that draw down an equal amount of carbon out of the atmosphere, such ...
1. Spread the word. Encourage your friends, family and co-workers to reduce their carbon pollution. Join a global movement like Count Us In, which aims to inspire 1 billion people to take practical steps and challenge their leaders to act more boldly on climate.
How You Can Stop Global Warming. Healing the planet starts in your garage, in your kitchen, and at your dining room table. Weatherizing doors and windows by sealing drafts can make your home...
1. Keep fossil fuels in the ground. Burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and especially coal, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, trapping heat and raising global...
We must begin with stopping our runaway greenhouse gas emissions. If, by 2030, we cut our carbon emissions in about half – and, by 2050, we don’t emit any more carbon emissions than the planet can absorb each year – scientists predict that we can avoid the worst threats of climate change.
Current emissions have the world on track to warm 2.8°C by the end of this century. Addressing climate change will require many solutions —there's no magic bullet. Yet nearly all of these ...
Here are some key takeaways from the latest report from UN scientists on how to limit climate warming.
We can limit global temperature rise to less than 2 degrees if we take action now. We need all countries and all sectors of society to act now—it is in the interests of everyone. It is...
There are two main ways to stop the amount of greenhouse gases from increasing: we can stop adding them to the air, and we can increase the Earth’s ability to pull them out of the air. This is called climate mitigation. There is not one single way to mitigate climate change.
Without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, limiting global warming to 1.5°C is beyond reach. However, there is increasing evidence of climate action, said scientists in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released today.
