Climate change mitigation is the action to reduce the intensity of radiative forcing in order to reduce the effects of global warming (IPCC‚ 2006). Climate change mitigation can be done through several means such as developing alternative energy which includes renewable and nuclear energy‚ decreasing the carbon intensity of fossil fuel through carbon capture and sequestering‚ reforestation and also simply by conserving energy. Based on the cost-benefit analysis of each methods‚ I believe that the

There are four major factors when it comes to nature causing climate changes; volcanic eruptions‚ ocean currents‚ earth orbital changes‚ and solar variations. There are three major factors when it comes to humans causing climate changes; transportation‚ deforestation‚ and fossil fuels to generate energy. Volcanic eruptions can cause the climate to change.
