Three methods are valid for preventing further environmental damage from CO2:

A) Removing excessive
CO_2 from the atmosphere through scrubbing.

B) sequester the released
CO_2 before it reaches the atmosphere.

D) Replace energy obtained from fossil fuels with geothermal and solar energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scrubbing is a process through which we can precipitate the
CO_2, these are used in Industrial exhausts to limit the
CO_2 release.

Sequestration is the storage of Industrial
CO_2 produced by fossil fuels in an underground aquifer or any other structure for long term storage.

Solar and Geothermal energies are called as Green energy, as they do not release any green houses gases in production. They are renewable source of energies. Replacing them with fossil fuels reduces release of
CO_2
