Detailed explanation-1: -Human Activity Is the Cause of Increased Greenhouse Gas Concentrations. Over the last century, burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This increase happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the link between fossil fuels and climate change? When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming.
Detailed explanation-3: -Generating power. Generating electricity and heat by burning fossil fuels causes a large chunk of global emissions. Manufacturing goods. Cutting down forests. Using transportation. Producing food. Powering buildings. Consuming too much.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cars and trucks. Coal-fired power plants. Large industrial operations. Ships and airplanes. 20-Jan-2023
