Front

What is the greenhouse effect?

Back

The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat, leading to an increase in global temperatures.

Front

What role do human activities play in climate change?

Back

Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, contribute to increased greenhouse gas emissions, which drive climate change.

Front

What is climate change?

Back
