- To stop carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere we have to stop burning fossil fuels.
- To remove carbon dioxide after it has reached the atmosphere we have replant the forests we have destroyed.
Easy answers. Not so easy to do. Here are some more ideas, but basically just expanding on the above.
- Plant trees and stop deforestation.
- Change to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) and stop burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
- You can walk or use bikes instead of cars as the gas of the car goes into the sky forming Co2 into the air.
- At factories all the pollutants also form into Co2.
- You can also buy Eco things to produce less energy to produce Co2 as well.
- Carpooling.
- Alternative energy sources.

∙ 10y agoThey can
- close down their fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) power plants
- build lots of renewable energy power plants (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal and biofuel)
- plant billions of trees to replace the destroyed forests.

∙ 10y agoThere are many ways to reduce CO2 emissions. Some of the easiest ways are to walk, cycle or take public transport instead of driving. Another great way to reduce a carbon footprint is to be more vigilant with electricity usage, for example unplugging a cell phone charger as soon as the phone is fully charged is a small action that can really make a difference over time.

How can we reduce your carbon footprint?
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, you can reduce your emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere.
How will the carbon tax affect us?
It depends on which country you are talking about. In Australia the carbon tax will only be paid by large emitters of carbon dioxide. This will encourage them to reduce their emissions. Compensation will be paid to most people to cover any rises in prices arising from the carbon tax.
How does afforestation offset global warming?
Forests absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and store the carbon. A company or country emitting CO2 can plant trees to 'offset', or counterbalance their emissions. They may find it cheaper to do this rather than to reduce their emissions. Through afforestation they reduce their carbon footprint, and raise their standing among their peers.
How does a power station reduce pollution?
A coal-fired power station can use filters to remove particulate emissions form its smokestack. In theory, it could also capture its carbon dioxide emissions for underground sequestration, but this is an unproven technology and might be neither long-term nor safe storage. The best way for a power station to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions would be to convert to natural gas or to be replaced by a non-combustion source.
Develop your own policy to reduce UK carbon dioxide emissions by 80% by 2050?
Grow more green plant life. Reason; plants breath in carbon dioxide, and exhale oxygen.
How might a gas tax reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
higher prices means people will drive less, and when people drive less carbon dioxide emissions are reduced.
How can we reduce your carbon footprint?
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint, you can reduce your emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere.
How do you reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
Recycle things such as plastic so as to reduce the use of plastic.
What has to reduce to solve the problem of global warming?
We have to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide and methane, the greenhouse gases, into the atmosphere.
Does wind energy reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
Yes, of course, the eolian energy is not polluting.
How does saving energy reduce carbon dioxide emmisions?
Almost all fuel used to create energy (coal, oil, gas) causes carbon dioxide emissions, therefore not using aka saving energy will reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Nature produces most of the carbon dioxide. Man produces about 6% of all CO2 produced. Much of this by items that would otherwise rot and create CO2 naturally.
Should you have Carbon tax?
Yes we should have a carbon tax because it encourages companies that pollute with carbon dioxide to reduce their emissions. This will be better for the world and for everyone in it.
Who is the carbon tax going to affect and how?
In Australia the carbon tax will only be paid by large emitters of carbon dioxide. This will encourage them to reduce their emissions. Compensation will be paid to most people to cover any rises in prices arising from the carbon tax.
What are green house emission?
There are four different greenhouse emissions that help to reduce the emissions on the earth. These four include methane, carbon dioxide, fluorinated gases and nitrous oxide.
What type of things could be done around the home to reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
One thing that can be done in the home to reduce carbon emissions is to change the light bulbs with energy saving bulbs. Another helpful thing is to change air filters annually.
Which fossil fuel can be made to burn cleaner and reduce carbon dioxide emissions if it is combined with purified oxygen?
I dont know :P
What is the solution to emissions?
Emissions from factories can be reduced by installing 'green' devices to reduce the amount of soot, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The Government can also promote the use of public transport instead of private transport so as to reduce exhaust given out by cars. Saving electricity can also reduce the amount of fossil fuels burnt, which releases carbon dioxide too.
