Detailed explanation-1: -However, beginning in the late 1700s, the net global effect of human activities has been a continual increase in greenhouse gas concentrations. This change in concentrations causes warming and is affecting various aspects of climate, including surface air and ocean temperatures, precipitation, and sea levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth’s temperature. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Detailed explanation-3: -What are the major causes of the greenhouse effect? Burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, farming and livestock production all contribute to the greenhouse effect. Industries and factories also play a major role in the release of greenhouse gases.
