Mitigation
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions can be as simple as changing a light bulb, walking to the store, basking in the sunshine, eating locally grown food, upgrading industrial equipment, or adding curtains to a window.
Then again mitigating climate change can be as complicated as launching thousands of ships to seed clouds or 16 trillion sunshades into orbit around Earth.
