Correct Answer:
Decreasing CO2 production,such as through alternative energy sources and improved efficiency in heating and transportation,will lower the amount of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.Other strategies relate to carbon sequestration,including the production of biofuels and inhibiting the loss of carbon fixation capacity that occurs through deforestation.
