Convert electric power plants from natural gas to coal.

Answer 1

The two measures that would be most effective in decreasing the negative effects of climate change are:

1. Give tax incentives for energy conservation in homes and businesses.
   This measure encourages individuals and businesses to reduce their energy consumption and switch to more sustainable practices, helping to lower overall greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Transition from power plants that burn natural gas to those that do not use fossil fuels.
   Moving away from fossil fuels for electricity generation significantly reduces carbon emissions and mitigates the impact of climate change.

The other options, making fossil fuels cheaper or converting plants from natural gas to coal, would likely exacerbate climate change effects.
