What is causing climate change?

Answer 1

1. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere keep the earth warm. However, in the past 150 years we have been burning fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas), releasing carbon that has been stored underground for millions of years. All this extra greenhouse gas, as well as other gases, like methane from melting tundras as well as cattle, mean the atmosphere is warming, globally.
2. The world's huge population has a demand for electricity and red meat, to put it simply. We have to burn more and more fossil fuel to generate the electricity, and we are breeding more and more cattle to feed the world.
3. Forests, which absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, are being cut down in many places, often for cattle pasture.

This means the climate will change, becoming warmer and drier in many areas, and wetter in others. Droughts will destroy croplands and millions of people will have to move to cooler countries. Scientists now suggest that extreme weather events will become more common.

A: I'm sure you know about the increase in burning fossil fuels which is leading to more pollution especially the increase in CO2 levels which is an associated with global warming. CO2 is a major green house gas, greenhouse meaning trapping heat inside. it's basically what i said above about global warming meaning the earth is getting warmer. so is melting polar regions and there have been major heatwaves these few years and scientists are saying this is because of humans burning fossil fuels and letting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. but governments from some countries have got together and made a decision to try to stop the amount of carbon dioxide getting into the air. this is called the 'precautionary principle'.

A: Global warming is causing climate change.

There is one main cause of climate change and that's that global warming is heating everything up.

There is one main cause of climate change and that's that global warming is heating everything up.

Burning fossil fuels (coal and oil) for transport, industry and to make electricity puts carbon dioxide into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Methane from melting tundra, cattle waste and belching is also added.

Greenhouse gases trap more and more heat from the sun. The earth is growing warmer and climate is becoming more and more unreliable.

Answer 2

it is causting all places on the earth to get hotter or colder
