      Definitely. Most of the current climate change is irrefutably directly related to human action, whether due to fuel pollution, farming, whatever. If we can make governments implement policies to control these things, we can definitely stop and hopefully start to reverse the increase in world temperature. But it’s a race against time, as the more damage we do the more difficult it will be to reverse quickly.

      I agree, we absolutely can. In fact, the Paris agreement (which a lot of countries have signed and is a really ambitious project to combat climate change) came into effect this month!

      I agree with Mark and Gavin: it is possible to stop climate change, but we need to act immediately to curb its effects, as the longer we keep releasing tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the harder it will be to counteract the effects.
