Mitigation: Reduction or stabilization of greenhouse gas emissions and their removal from the atmosphere. Mitigation strategies include:

• Reducing energy consumption: Encourage energy-saving habits like turning off lights when not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, carpooling or using public transportation. (Fun Fact: Do you know the less you use your car, the more you're helping polar bears in the Arctic? Reducing fossil fuel usage helps slow down global warming!)

• Reducing agricultural emissions: Nitrous oxides and methane are significant greenhouse gases emitted from agriculture. Simple changes in farming practices and a decrease in chemical fertilizers use can help. Example: Switching to organic farming can reduce the need for artificial fertilizers and methane from livestock farming. It's good for our health too!

• Alternatives to fossil fuels: Using renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower can lower emissions significantly. Imagine a world powered by the sun, wind, and water!

• Geo-engineering: Involves manipulating the environment to counteract climate change. Though some ideas are pretty radical (like giant space mirrors reflecting sunlight away), they can be game-changers!

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Techniques:

• Land management: The UN-REDD Programme protects and enhances carbon sinks (e.g., forests).

• Biomass as fuel: Biomass can be grown, harvested, and burned, capturing and storing the carbon.

• Carbon capture and storage (CCS): This involves trapping the CO2 at its emission source, transporting it, and storing it to prevent its release into the atmosphere. Think of it like trapping a nasty troll in a cave so it can't wreak havoc in the village!

• Enhancing oceanic carbon dioxide absorption: This can be done by fertilizing oceans to encourage the growth of organisms that absorb CO2. Imagine our seas acting like big, blue carbon sponges!

Prevention of further global warming:

• Controlling and reducing atmospheric pollution: Implementing clean air policies, recycling, and waste reduction efforts.

• Forest Management: Stop clearing forests and start planting more trees.

• Alternative renewable energy sources: Invest more in renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.

• Improving public transport: More efficient public transport reduces the need for personal vehicles, thereby reducing emissions.

• Setting national carbon emission limits: Countries need to set strict limits on their carbon emissions and aim to reduce them.

• Carbon capture methods and recycling programs: Use of methods to trap and store carbon dioxide instead of letting it escape into the atmosphere.
