Human activities like burning fossil fuels and converting forests to farms have increased greenhouse gas emissions since the Industrial Revolution. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, which are released through processes like fossil fuel combustion, agriculture, and industrial activities. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere and have caused global temperatures to rise.

Since we have discussed about the detrimental effect of climate
changes,let’s move on to what is causing climate changes.
Climate change is primarily caused by human activity. People use fossil fuels and transform forestland to agricultural land. People have been burning more fossil fuels and converting enormous swaths of land from forests to farms since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. These activities release carbon dioxide into the air. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, making it warmer. Scientists also know that some greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. Because it causes a "greenhouse effect," it is called a greenhouse gas.They caused climate change in the past and they can cause climate change now. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide . Carbon dioxide is naturally produced by plants and animals and by human activity. The burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the air. This makes it more likely that temperatures will rise. Nitrous oxide is produced by bacteria in the soil and oceans. It is also released by cars, power stations and other industrial processes. The amount of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere is increasing. It too absorbs heat from the sun and makes it warmer on Earth. Methane is produced when plants decay in wetlands or ferment in agriculture . The increase of methane levels can be seen by satellite images . As the temperature rises, more methane escapes into the air and traps more heat. As you can see,climate change is primarily caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and changing how we use land.
