  Yes, we can. There are some changes that cannot be undone, but it is not too late to reduce the effect. We are so powerful and smart, I think we can do everything, if we just all work together.

  Yes, I do. We have all the tools to do it, but the problem is that we have invested a lot of money and time on fossil fuels before we really understood the full dangers of climate change. Now it is clear the damage we are doing, but it is difficult to switch overnight, especially when millions of people rely on the energy, jobs, and infrastructure of these old systems. This is the big challenge, and I hope that we can switch quickly enough to avoid further major consequences.

  Yes I think if we all work together we can certainly make a difference. The key thing is that every country tries to make significant changes not just one or two.

  Yes I think we can. This would definitely take time but if we all collectively do our part in stopping climate change, I think we would be able to make a difference.

  Yes, we need to work together and act now!

  Yes, we can and we have to do it. The challenge and risks are high, but this is what motivates scientists to work harder. Moreover, it is a multidisciplinary job! Everyone has to act together towards a better world! You can do a small step as well, by switching always the lights you do not need, unplug your laptop if it is fully charged, etc.! Be part of the change with us!

  I believe we can limit the various aspects of climate change from getting worse but it will take more time than ideal due to political, economic and social will.

  Technological evolution is increasing exponentially!
  
  We now have the tools and knowledge to understand and neutralise all the dangers of climate change.
  
  What we are missing as humanity is the willingness to move away from fossil fuels.
  Fossil fuels are the number one enemy, but they drive many economies worldwide.
  
  Solar and nuclear energy are two realistic alternatives to fossil fuels!

  I think that rather than stopping it, as it’s kind of too late for that, I believe that we can make it less catastrophic. A huge social, economic, and political change is required globally if we are to prevent climatic disaster.

  I hope we can stop it, I think we definitely can slow it down but it might be more difficult to fully stop it
