Mitigation of global warming in Australia

Global warming is when the earth gets hotter and hotter because of things that people do. In Australia, we can have really hot summers, but global warming makes them even hotter and can even make it harder for animals and plants to live.

Mitigation means doing things to try and make the earth cooler and stop global warming.

There are a few things that people in Australia can do to help mitigate global warming. One of them is using renewable energy, like wind power or solar power, instead of using energy that makes the earth hotter, like coal or oil.

Another thing that people can do is reduce their carbon footprint by using less energy and emitting less pollution. This means things like walking or riding a bike instead of driving a car, or using a reusable water bottle instead of buying new plastic ones.

Lastly, people can support policies and laws that help mitigate global warming, like encouraging businesses to use renewable energy or planting more trees, which absorb carbon dioxide from the air.

There are many ways we can help mitigate global warming in Australia, and it’s important that we all work together to protect our planet and our future.
