How does burning fossil fuels contribute to climate change?

Back

It releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.

Front

What is deforestation and its impact on climate change?

Back

The large-scale removal of trees and forests that reduces carbon storage and releases stored carbon dioxide.

Front

What role does pollution play in climate change?

Back

It introduces harmful substances into the environment, exacerbating climate change and harming health and ecosystems.

Front

What are the effects of climate change?

Back

Rising sea levels, extreme weather, and loss of biodiversity.

Front

What causes rising sea levels?

Back

Melting glaciers and ice sheets, and the thermal expansion of seawater.

Front

How does climate change lead to extreme weather?

Back

It intensifies weather events like hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves.

Front

What is loss of biodiversity in the context of climate change?

Back

The decline in the variety of life forms as species struggle to adapt, leading to extinction.

Front

What are some solutions to climate change?

Back

Use renewable energy, plant trees, and reduce plastic use.
