What measures have been adopted to combat global warming?

Vocabulary

 Greenhouse effect:  is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface and the lower atmosphere, it results in an elevation of the average surface temperature above what it would be in the absence of the gases.

Mechanism: a manner of behaving that helps one deal with the environment.

Convection: the transfer of heat by the circulation of heated liquid or gas.

A runaway greenhouse effect: It is a process in which a net positive feedback between surface temperature and atmospheric opacity increases the strength of the greenhouse effect on a planet until its oceans boil away
