Question
How can global warming can be reduced?
Solution
With increasing economic growth and population, energy consumption is increasing and hence this leads to global warming. To minimize global warming the following three measures should be taken.
- Internal combustion engines in vehicles should be replaced by electric battery vehicles to reduce carbon dioxide emission.
- Reforestation and sustainable use of land should be encouraged. Forest habitats should be maintained.
- Controlling population, through family planning, welfare reform, and the empowerment of women. This will help in reducing population, then consumption for energy, and hence will reduce global warming.
