Yes, the atmosphere is changing, and especially in the last 250 years since the Industrial Revolution.

Pollution from human activity is changing the atmosphere.

  • Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
  • Bad agricultural practices emit methane (CH4), a powerful greenhouse gas.
  • Deforestation has removed the trees that used to take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
