Causes of Climate Change
Climate change is primarily driven by the increase of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to a gradual warming of the planet. Key contributors include:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): Released through burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and various industrial processes.
- Methane (CH₄): Produced by landfills, agriculture (especially rice production), and livestock digestion.
- Nitrous Oxide (N₂O): Emitted from agricultural and industrial activities, as well as combustion of organic material and fossil fuels.
These activities disrupt the natural balance of our planet's climate system, leading to a variety of changes that impact global ecosystems and human livelihoods.
