We control climate change by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This is
known as carbon dioxide and most of it comes from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural
gas. When these fuels are burned, they produce carbon dioxide and other types of gases. If we
stopped burning fossil fuels, carbon dioxide would still be in the atmosphere, but it would stay
there for a much longer time. We also release other gases that are very powerful in the process of
climate change. Most of these gasses come from fossil fuel burning. Carbon dioxide remains in
the atmosphere long enough to trap heat between the ground and the upper atmosphere. For this
reason, global warming is happening around the whole world.
The effects of pollution have been caused several years ago, so it will take a lot of time to
reverse the effects. Everyone can play a part in reversing the damage. The best way to start is by
recycling and conserving energy use. Humans are changing the climate because humans are adding
carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. Since humans have done this, the temperature of our planet
has significantly increased. There are many ways that we can try to reverse climate change and cut
down on pollution and greenhouse gases. One way to reverse the effects of pollution is to cut down
on the use of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil. Other ways to reverse the effects of climate
change are: (a) use renewable energy; (b) clean our air by planting trees; (c) clean our water by
recycling or reusing it; (d) apply the reduce, reuse, and recycle in everything; and (e) harness solar
power to keep cars running on less gas.
