Greenhouse gas emissions are the main cause of human-induced global warming. They can be reduced through:
- addressing energy use,
- reducing the amount of energy used (though energy efficiency and/or simple living)
- using more renewable energy
- using fossil fuels, and practicing carbon sequestration (see carbon sequestrationW), i.e. putting the CO2 underground.
- using fossil fuels, and practicing carbon offset (see carbon offsetW).
- using nuclear energy - while there are enormous safety, security and environmental hazards from nuclear energy, it has been proposed by some as part of the solution to global warming.
- Addressing agriculture and any other source of greenhouse gases, especially methane. (Methane is 16 times[verification needed] stronger than CO2 as a greenhouse gas, in spite of having the same amount of carbon per molecule, or per unit volume.)
