Global warming is being caused by too much carbon pollution in the atmosphere. We need to stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and move to renewable energy (wind, solar and others). One of the ways to do this is to make carbon polluters pay for a permit to pollute. The cost of this permit will encourage them to move to renewable energy.

Only governments can do this. People of good will can reduce their own carbon footprint, but the really big stuff has to come from governments.

Carbon polluters can compensate for their emissions by planting, or getting others to plant, billions of trees. Again, this can more simply be done through a system of trading carbon. Some governments have established a carbon permit scheme already.
