On a personal level, driving and flying less, recycling, and conservation reduces a person's “carbon footprint” - the amount of carbon dioxide a person is for putting into the atmosphere. On a larger scale, governments are taking measures to limit of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The Paris Agreement, a voluntary agreement among 118 nations ratified on November 4, 2016, is one effort being enacted on a global scale to combat change. As a part of the agreement, each country agreed to take measures to combat climate change, with the ultimate goal of keeping the post-industrial global temperature rise below two degrees Celsius. Another method is to put taxes on carbon emissions or higher taxes on gasoline so that individuals and will have greater incentives to conserve energy and pollute less.
