Reducing the amount of carbon going to the environment is only part of the battle, we must also increase the amount of carbon dioxide presently in the atmosphere.
A out of the carbon (as carbon dioxide) is generated by fossil fuel , so task one is to reduce this use. The use of biofuels is not really the answer as we can burn biofuels quicker than they can be produced by plants. That leaves us with the options of colder homes, less air conditioning, streetlights, reducing shipping or flying in food from distant lands during the winter and prohibiting private car use. Or we could use sustainable sources like solar, wind and tidal energy to meet out need. Nuclear too is an option - no carbon emissions there.
It is often suggested that we end our carnivorous diet. The animals produced for the food use resources, create methane (GHG) and require shipping from farms to slaughter and to market. This is going to be unpopular as just not eating the existing animals does not stop the emissions. The change would require the slaughter and disposal of 19 billion chickens, 1.4 billion cattle, and 1 billion sheep and pigs.
Lower population is a potential answer but being told that everyone over the age of (fill in the blank) has to be put down, or controlling on a worldwide basis who gets to have kids. This is going to be unpopular.
We could also look where the carbon removal is going on:
We can reduce our production of new carbon dioxide in many ways, all of which involve burning less coal, oil and natural gas. Whenever we reduce our consumption of electricity or motor fuel, we contribute to reducing the world production of carbon dioxide.
We can help by replacing incandescent light globes by high efficiency one, by turning off appliances when not in use, by using air-conditioning less, even by installing insulation in your home.
We can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions from transport by: using public transport more, buying a smaller car next time, using biofuels where possible.
A:There are common lifestyle changes that can change the amount humans produce:Drive less
Stop using air conditioning or electrical appliances
Eat local produce so they are not transported
Use less heat in your home
A:Reducing our emissions of CO2 could be performed by the elimination of air conditioning and heating of homes, the removal of television, internet and lighting in our dwellings and stop producing things that extend human life and their enjoyment. A:Human carbon emissions occur mostly when fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) is burnt. We burn fossil fuel in transport and for producing electricity. Coal fired power stations are the worst emitters of carbon dioxide.To stop carbon emissions we have to improve and invent new ways of generating electricity. Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and tidal and wave energy are all renewable sources of energy being used around the world. Hydro is the only large generator at the moment.
When the world has reliable renewable sources of energy, then all vehicles can be powered by clean electricity and oil can be saved for other uses, like making plastics. Coal will be left in the ground as it it too dirty to use.
There are many small ways that we can contribute to this, because we can't wait till all power is renewable. We have to start now to try and slow carbon emissions:
Using less electricity:
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the greenhouse gas that man is largely responsible for. We can't control water vapor, and anyway, the atmosphere can only hold a certain amount. As soon as it gets too much, it all falls as rain.
Two major ways we can reduce greenhouse gases are:
Reducing the amount of carbon going to the environments part of the battle, we must also increase the amount of carbon dioxide presently in the atmosphere.
The carbon is generated by fossil fuel sue so task one is to reduce this use. That could mean the use of less fossil fuels.

This is going to be unpopular as just not eating the existing animals does not stop the emissions the change would require the slaughter and disposal of 19 billion chickens, 1.4 billion cattle, and 1 billion sheep and pigs.

Replant the great forests of the world.
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. If levels of it in the atmosphere are higher than normal, then they trap more heat. This is causing global warming, and the world warming is causing changes in climate.
Absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere modify the pH of waters; also the pollution from human activities.
Yes the amount of carbon is increasing .

The amount of carbon dioxide being removed from the atmosphere. (These activities are cutting down and destroying forests.)
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasingly drastically, attributed primarily to human activities.
Forest fires increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
The natural carbon cycle is for animals to produce carbon dioxide and for plants to absorb it, so that a long term balance is maintained, with carbon dioxide levels around 260-280 parts per million (ppm). When we cut down trees, without allowing new ones to replace them, this limits the amount of carbon that is removed from the atmosphere.
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. If levels of it in the atmosphere are higher than normal, then they trap more heat. This is causing global warming, and the world warming is causing changes in climate.

Plants use carbon dioxide, so there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the summer.
