Global Warming did not happen on its own. We, humans, are the main cause of global warming. Our usage of fossils fuel, transport and extracting resources from the Earth causes global warming which leads to poisoning our air and water. Science has told us that Global Warming is reality and that our World is hotter than it was once two thousand years ago. However, if our consumptions of fossils fuels grow then it is likely that by the end of the century, the temperature will be higher at any time in the past two million years. Organisations like Greenpeace think that they can reduce global warming by settings few aim for the future. Their aims for the next three years are:
1. Join local communities to shut down dangerous, dirty coal plants all across the World, and support them in a transition to a renewable future.
2. Advocate for strong laws to curb global warming and put the world on a path to clean energy.
3. Expose climate deniers, like the Koch Brothers, and hold them publicly accountable for providing millions of dollars to lobby against climate and clean energy policies.
4. Kick-start an Energy Revolution by advocating for clean-energy solutions like solar and wind power.
What other suggestions do you have that could reduce global warming?

Greenpeace and others like the Sea Shepherds take a very aggressive line when it comes to tackling environmental issues. Is this always productive?
