<h2 class=" eplus-wrapper">What's happening?</h2>

Cutting back on fossil fuelsFuels made from decomposing plants and animals, including coal, natural gas and oil. These fuels release carbon dioxide, causing global warming.. Building more wind turbines. Walking more and driving less. These are the ideas to stop global warmingThe Earth is getting hotter due to climate change. we are used to hearing about. 

But now, some scientists have a new idea. 

They want to mine millions of tons of dust from the Moon and then use a gun to fire it back into space. The idea is that the Moon dust would block some sunlight from reaching the Earth, and stop the planet from warming up. The plan is known as geoengineering.

It sounds like a strange plan. But some think we need big ideas like this to solve the problems caused by climate changeLong-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human action is a major cause of climate change.. It is worth seriously thinking about any suggestions.

But others say the plan is unhelpful, or could even be dangerous. Many scientists think we need to focus on changing how we live on Earth. We need to cut back on burning fossil fuels, for example. "Mining the Moon is not the answer that we need," says one expert.

Yes! The answer to climate change will not be found on the Moon. It is about changing how we live here on Earth. And who knows what could happen if the Moon plan goes wrong? 

No! So far, we have not stopped climate change. Many brilliant ideas were once said to be crazy. We need to think about all the options we have. 

Fossil fuels - Fuels made from decomposing plants and animals, including coal, natural gas and oil. These fuels release carbon dioxide, causing global warming.

Global warming - The Earth is getting hotter due to climate change.

Climate change - Long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human action is a major cause of climate change.
