Human activities are the main contributors to climate change, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. This releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate disruptions. Reducing these emissions by transitioning to renewable energy, increasing energy efficiency, and reforestation are critical actions needed to mitigate climate change.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What are the primary causes of climate change? The primary causes include human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which increase greenhouse gas levels.
  2. How can we reduce our carbon footprint? We can reduce our carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and participating in reforestation efforts.
  3. What role do greenhouse gases play in climate change? Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which causes global temperatures to rise, leading to climate disruptions.
  4. Why is transitioning to renewable energy important? Transitioning to renewable energy is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change.
