What is a major cause of climate change?
Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
What is climate change?
Climate change refers to long-term shifts and alterations in temperature and weather patterns, primarily caused by human activities. This phenomenon has significant and wide-ranging impacts on the environment, economies, and societies worldwide.
How is Carbon Dioxide (CO2) produced?
Carbon Dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuels(coal, oil, and natural gas)for energy, deforestation, and various industrial processes.
How is Methane (CH4) emitted?
Methane is emitted during the production and transport of coal, oil, and natural gas(fossil fuels)as well as from livestock and other agricultural practices.
What activities release Nitrous Oxide (N2O)?
Nitrous Oxide is released from agricultural and industrial activities, as well as the combustion of fossil fuels and solid waste.
What are Fluorinated Gases?
Synthetic gases used in a variety of industrial applications, which have a high global warming potential.
How does deforestation contribute to climate change?
The clearing of forests for agriculture, logging, and urban development reduces the number of trees that can absorb C02, exacerbating the greenhouse effects.
What is the impact of industrial activities on climate change?
Many industrial processes release C02 and other greenhouse gases, contributing significantly to climate change.
