Are there any technical solutions to global warming?
There is no single solution to global warming, which is primarily a problem of too much heat-trapping carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. (Learn more about the causes of global warming.)
How does geoengineering help with climate change?
Solar geoengineering, or solar radiation modification, would reflect some sunlight (solar radiation) back to space to limit or reverse human-caused climate change. Carbon dioxide removal refers to removing carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and sequestering it for long periods of time.
Which igos are involved in global warming?
Canada has been a member of the IPCC since its establishment by the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Meteorological Organization in 1988.
What are geoengineering strategies?
GGR techniques aim to remove carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, directly countering the increased greenhouse effect and ocean acidification. These techniques would have to be implemented on a global scale to have a significant impact on greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.

10 Things You Can Do to Help Save the Earth
- Conserve Water. The little things can make a big difference.
- Be Car-conscious. If you can, stay off the road two days a week or more.
- Walk, Bike or Take Public Transit. Walking and biking are obvious ways to reduce greenhouse gases.
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
- Give Composting a Try.
Who handles climate change?
Understanding and addressing climate change is critical to EPA’s mission of protecting human health and the environment. EPA tracks and reports greenhouse gas emissions, leverages sound science, and works to reduce emissions to combat climate change.
