<human>:  What causes climate change and how can I help stop it?
<bot>: Climate change is caused primarily by the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat which leads to a rise in global temperatures, resulting in rapid changes in the climate. To help stop climate change, individuals can reduce their energy consumption by using energy-saving appliances, utilizing public transportation and carpooling, and switching to renewable energy sources. Planting trees is another effective way to help reduce carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, as well as reducing waste to lower emissions of methane. Finally, individuals can support organizations that are working to create positive change towards a greener, more sustainable future.
