Three Solutions That Can Slow or Stop Climate Change I NOVA I PBS

NOVA PBS Official | December 11, 2025



Tackling climate change might seem daunting, but there’s actually a wide set of climate solutions. NOVA breaks down the three “speed bumps,” preventing, “undoing,” and adapting, that can slow and possibly stop us from reaching the worst outcomes of climate change.

    N Global Warming Will End—God's Way

    The Bible tells us that "the Former of the earth and the Maker of it…. did not create it simply for nothing." (Isaiah 45:18) The Bible also says: "The earth endures forever."—Ecclesiastes 1:4, The New English Bible.

    Yes, God will not allow the earth to be rendered uninhabitable. Rather, he will intervene in human affairs and bring an end to failed human rule and those who have no regard for the earth. At the same time, he will preserve alive all who lead morally upright lives and sincerely want to please him. Says Proverbs 2:21, 22: "The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth, and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it."

    Solarise the third world so that they don't use devastating industrial solutions. Don't give the solar money to African politicians they are corrupt. Find ways to solarise. Hurry human family or we gonna be destroyed.

    climate change cannot ever be stopped . It can be brought back to its normal speed maybe but not stopped cause its been on going ever since its creation 4 billion years ago . Its an on going process that will go on till the planet dies .

    Good presentation but too optimistic. We need to stop window dressing the problem and institute solutions that have a chance of making a real difference. We are in uncharted waters. Not only is the release of methane in the tundra and shallow oceans a huge crippling threat to civilization but so is the warming oceans which will stop absorbing CO2 after having been a heat sink for decades. Giving people the false impression we have time to avoid a catastrophe is misleading. We need to act now with real solutions like geoengineering before it will also be too late.

    You cannot reduce CO2 with Solar and Wind. They are too energy intensive. They are actually much dirtier than burning coal and oil. Nuclear is the cleanest and safest. Wait…………..maybe CO2 is not the reason that the climate changes…………………………….Actually, that is true. It has been proven scientifically. There are numerous pier reviewed studies that have come out in the last 5 years that prove that CO2 does not have the affect that has been claimed. Unfortunately there is not the same evidence for "anthropogenic climate change" As a matter of fact there is NONE! The models that are pushed out there by the CCP and the so called "climate experts" are all secret. They won't give the parameters that they used to come up with their garbage computer programs. Why? Well………………….the logical reason is that they know they are faulty, hence they are worthless.
    The current scientific studies coupled with data from past events has led to a better understanding of the climate. It has nothing to do with CO2………………………….It's actually the sun that controls the climate on the planet. They are called "solar cycles. When there are more sunspots, the climate warms. When there are less, the planet cools. It is that simple. So please stop teaching the faulty hypothesis that CO2 controls the atmosphere to your children, and stop agreeing to give your money to these frauds! Have some courage, go out and learn something, instead of going along with what has been parroted for decades. Your children's future depends on it.

    As I type, I'm on a tectonic plate floating on magma. It moves 1" per year. It used to go 10" a year but that was long ago….when Colorado was below the Equator. I'm spinning about 500 mph at my latitude….on a globe circling the sun at 66,627 mph…in a solar system going 448,000 mph as it spins in the Milky Way…which itself is going about 1.3 million mph as IT flies away from a central exploding point.

    Earth was once nearly pure, roiling lava. Once Earth was completely covered in ice. Not the Ice Age…planet snowball.

    No one seems to know any of this…and they "believe" they can control the weather. You can't explain why you're here….and you think you altered the temperature on Earth? You are morons. You're brainwashed. You should read a lot more about what you control and what you don't control. Then, improve whatever you can.

    If anyone reading coments here with having abilities, might will think about helium balloons in stratosphere with electromagnets and ultrasound emitters, to let out of atmosphere problem cousing gases
