What contributes to climate change?

Answer 1

We all contribute to global warming in many ways.

When we drive a car, we use petrol or diesel fuel, creating carbon dioxide emission which help warm the atmosphere. When we cook or use electric appliances we also contribute to global warming because the electricity we use is often generated by burning coal or oil. This does not mean we should stop driving or using any electricity, but it does mean we should be more prudent in how much fossil fuel we are responsible for using.

We could consider driving a smaller car, or using public transport more often. We could replace incandescent light globes by high-efficiency ones. We should turn off appliances when not in use. It is certainly possible to reduce our contribution to global warming without sacrificing our high standard of living.

Answer 2

Burning fossil fuels, deforestation, growing world population, poor countries demanding a western standard of living, demand for beef, and much more.

Answer 3

There are a variety of factors that contribute to climate change. These include pollution, the greenhouse effect, as well as changes in the Earth's atmosphere.
