Detailed explanation-2: -Burning fossil fuels, releasing chemicals into the atmosphere, reducing the amount of forest cover, and the rapid expansion of farming, development, and industrial activities are releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and changing the balance of the climate system.

Detailed explanation-3: -These three are the activities which promotes the release of carbon dioxide in air. Burning of fossil fuels such as petrol, diesel uses transportation and industrial purposes. Burning of wood and charcoal for heating and cooking. Cutting of trees /deforestation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Effects of greenhouse gases They cause climate change by trapping heat, and they also contribute to respiratory disease from smog and air pollution. Extreme weather, food supply disruptions, and increased wildfires are other effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gases.
