Causes of Global Warming

Global warming is driven by human activities that increase the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The primary causes include:

• Burning of Fossil Fuels: Coal, oil, and natural gas are burned for energy, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2), the leading greenhouse gas.
• Deforestation: Cutting down trees reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
• Industrial Processes: Cement production, chemical manufacturing, and other industrial activities release gases like methane and nitrous oxide.
• Agricultural Practices: Livestock farming and rice cultivation produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
• Waste Management: Decomposing organic waste in landfills releases methane into the atmosphere.
