We can't stop it. Exactly. The Earth has warmed a bit. Maybe it will warm some more. Almost certainly, natural processes and cycles will curb this trend over time.... and you know, if it doesn't, there really isn't anything significant we can do about it. We are too puny to have a significant effect on the climate.
We have pretty advanced technology at our disposal. I've heard of ways to temporarily cool the planet. Something about releasing a chemical high in our atmosphere. I'll see if I can find more information about it. But this is why we need to study climate change more...
Edit: It sounds like it's sulfur they'd consider pumping into the atmosphere to cool down the planet, though this could have negative effects on the ozone layer.
