Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Renewable Energy Sources and Conserving Energy
Ways we can do this are to replace fossil fuel use with renewable energy sources and here is why. Fossil fuels release various gases with the main one being carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that generally warms the Earth and is bad for us humans. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the Earth. If renewable energy sources are used such as solar, wind, hydroelectric and more powers are used, you don't have to worry about emitting gases into the air. Cutting down the use of energy is a good way to get this done without making the planet warmer, because the majority of the energy used is eventually lost as heat, which warms our planet. So yes, this can be done without making the planet warmer/
