What role can energy conservation play in combating global warming?
What will be an ideal response?
Energy conservation can play a major role in combating global warming by reducing the need for energy. However, by itself, it cannot solve the global warming problem, because it is probably not possible to reduce energy consumption by the amount (~85%) that we would need to in order to stabilize atmospheric CO2 at some reasonable level, such as 450 ppm. Energy conservation could be encouraged by imposing a carbon tax, which would make fossil fuel-produced energy more expensive.
