Can we do this without making the planet warmer?

Pros of clean energy
The best way to prevent further emissions of CO2 into our atmosphere is to use clean, reusable energy sources. If you stop using energy sources like coal, gas, and oil, it cuts down CO2 emissions by a huge amount. To replace these energy sources, you can use clean energy sources like wind, water, and solar. While these energy sources are more expensive than fossil fuel powered energy sources, in the long run it will have a huge positive impact on the world. It will reduce global warming by a huge amount and slow down an eventual disaster. To even further reduce pollution, car manufacturers would only manufacture electric cars. All of these steps would lead to a cleaner and longer future.
