The overarching goal of the carbon mitigation initiative is to
a. develop alternative fuel sources
b. reduce carbon dioxide emissions
c. simulate and predict the future climate on earth
d. find solutions to the global warming dilemma

The answer is D. When carbon-based fuels are burned, they emit carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that causes a greenhouse effect that increases global temperatures hence global warming. However, it is important to note that carbon dioxide is not the only carbon-based greenhouse gas. Methane too is a greenhouse gas, several times more potent than carbon dioxide. Reducing the emission of these greenhouse gases, therefore, mitigates the risk of global warming.
