Cause of Climate Change:
The main cause of the phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect. Gases in the atmosphere
such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitro oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, lets the sun in
trapping the heat from escaping. The more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, more heat gets
trapped – strengthening the greenhouse effect and increasing the Earth’s temperature. Human
Activities like the burning of fossils increases the emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
by more than a third since the industrial revolution. The rapid increase of greenhouse gases in the
