Causes of Climate change
Fossil Fuels
The burning of fossil fuels is the single worst cause of climate change.
Deforestation
The removal of thousands of trees from our forests has decreased the amount of carbon that can be absorbed.
Agriculture
Cattle, agricultural soils, and rice production release greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
Plastic Waste
Plastic blocks algae from being able to absorb carbon dioxide from our atmosphere.
Gas Powered Vehicles
Millions of vehicles are on the road today that burn gas. Cars produce over a quarter of the total greenhouse gases emitted.
Human Activity
Humans are to blame for all of this. We have created all of these things that produce greenhouse gases. But you can take steps to reduce your carbon footprint.
