Causes of the Climate Crisis

Human activity is the main cause of climate change. People burn fossil fuels and convert land from forests to agriculture. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, people have burned more and more fossil fuels and changed vast areas of land from forests to farmland.

~Causes for rising emissions

•Burning coal, oil, and gas produces carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.

•Cutting down forests (deforestation).

•Increasing livestock farming.

•Fertilisers containing nitrogen produce nitrous oxide emissions.

•Fluorinated gases are emitted from equipment and products that use these gases.

•Power Plants.

•Transportation

•Deforestation

•Fertilizers

•Oil Drilling.

•Natural Gas Drilling.
