Taking a critical look at the nature of climate today, what will you have presumed will become the fate of the human race if the menaces of global warming continue? I think nobody can phantom it, but fundamentally, we all believe it will be highly disastrous and unprecedented. Also, this is going to affect all areas of human endeavors as it was projected in my previous article.

Therefore, what should we do? However, nothing exists without advantages and disadvantages. This in turn takes us into another aspect of climate change which is human dependent.
ADVANTAGES OF PRACTICE OF CLIMATE CHANGE REMEDIATION
(i) Drastic reduction in the use of fossil fuel.
(ii) Sourcing for renewable and alternative sources of energy (i.e geothermal, wind, solar, biomass and hydro) (SEE IMAGE 2 AND 3).
IMAGE2: SOLAR ENERGY CAN CUT IT DOWN
(iii) Reforestation and afforestation practices should be promoted and supported.
IMAGE3: WIND ENERGY IS ONE OF THE OPTIONS
(iv)There should be awareness of global warming and energy conservation by nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs), many associations of environment-related sciences and environment-loving volunteers.
IMAGE4: BICYCLING IS ONE OF THEM
(v) The developed countries that had already been successful in remediating practices should support the developing countries to carry out the same practices.
(vi) Sustainable energy-improved engines or hybrid engines should be designed for cars, industries and factories.
(vii) All greenhouse gases should be captured and chemically transformed into environmentally friendly end products before being emitted from machine and car engines.
(viii) Countries may discourage or cut down the use of machines and cars that utilize fossil fuels.
(ix) The use of bicycle and public transport, as well as trekking should be encouraged (SEE IMAGE 4).
(x) Well-inflated tyres should be encouraged to increase mileage, and the habit of frequently replacing air-filter should be enforced by road safety managements of all countries.
(xi) People should be educated through the media of sharing with co-workers and friends in order to cut down the carbon emission by reducing the total number of vehicles engaging the roads.
(xii) Awareness on educations of global warming and climate should be intensified by the social media and prints.
(xiii) The use of rechargeable batteries should be promoted and encouraged but not the disposable ones.

(xiv) Low efficient carbon-emitting products should be discarded, otherwise recycled, and should not be allowed to come into many countries especially the developing countries.
(xv) Shopping should be encouraged in local markets that does not require transportation.
(xvi) Reduction in the use of thermostat during winter and using the compact florescent lamps, otherwise low-energy lamps in place of incandescent lamps should be promoted.
(xvii) Activities such as bush burning, forest degradation and deforestation should be deterred at government level, otherwise under tight schedule be encouraged in sustainable manner in a way that reforestation and domestication of animals is encouraged with increasing human settlements (SEE IMAGE1).
(xviii) Preparing and responding to climate change in planned and unplanned manner should be put into research and be planned ahead of time.
(xix) Large scale solar geo-engineering of earth may be encouraged in a sustainable manner.
(xx) Ensure you regularly turn off your electricity when leaving your apartment and when you are using any appliance, especially in the sunny day when the sunlight can serve the purpose of electric lamp.
6IMAGE6: SUMMARY OF GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTIONS**
DISADVANTAGES OF PRACTICE OF CLIMATE CHANGE REMEDIATION
(i) High cost of production and installations of alternative source of energy.
(ii) Lack of even distribution of experts globally.
(iii) Increased number of poor countries especially developing countries.
(iv) Increased Illiteracy of peoples in many developing countries.
(v) There may be nuclear accidents in case of nuclear energy source.
CONCLUSION
However, considering the advantages and disadvantages we will infer that the advantages of climate change remediation overwhelm the disadvantages. Therefore, only what the world needs now is to
(i) Increase human capital and promote education in this area,
(ii) Intensify research that can alleviate the global warming,
(iii) Plan on how to adapt for the unexpected odds in change of climate and
(iv) Increase awareness of global warming and climate change to the later.
