1).

Climate change happens when greenhouse gases are released and trapped in the
atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect creates a layer around the
earth's atmosphere that traps heat from the sun, making our atmosphere warmer, similar to a
greenhouse

Your home and transportation could be major sources of greenhouse gas emissions. A certified
home energy audit can help make your home more energy efficient. If you commute via biking,
walking or public transportation you are doing your part to fight global warming, but if you must
own a motor vehicle, consider trading in your gas guzzler for a fuel-efficient hybrid or better yet
—go electric.

2).Pollution
Overloading of the atmosphere and of ocean waters with carbon. Atmospheric CO2 absorbs
and re-emits infrared-wavelength radiation, leading to warmer air, soils, and ocean surface
waters - which is good: The planet would be frozen solid without this.

Replace renewable energy with fossil fuels. Reforestation.


Many of the air pollution solutions are similar to climate change solutions, but it's necessary to 
either make a concerted effort to drive less or turn to a car with lower emissions. 
It is also necessary to turn to green energy, 
as this will cut down on fossil fuel emissions. 
If you do not install solar or wind power on your property or if your utility gets its 
electricity from dirty energy sources.

3). Deforestation Species-rich wild forests are being destroyed, especially in the tropics, often
to make way for cattle ranching, soybean or palm oil plantations, or other agricultural
monocultures.
Conserve what is left of the natural forests 
and replant native tree species to restore degraded areas. 
This needs good governance, but with growing populations, unequal rule of law, and pervasive 
cronyism 
and bribery when it comes to land use allocation, many tropical countries are still developing.
