Question
State three ways to minimize the global warming.
✓
Answer
The three ways to minimize global warming are:
(i) Reduction in the use of fossil fuels and adoption of technology based on renewable sources of energy.
(ii) Reduction in deforestation and increase in afforestation.
(iii) Fostering international co-operation to reduce greenhouse gas emission.
