Man has been burning fossil fuels in industry, transport and to generate electricity. This releases carbon dioxide that has been safely hidden underground for millions of years. This addition the the greenhouse gas levels is causing global warming, which is then the cause of climate change.

Deforestation is another cause, because trees remove carbon from the atmosphere.

Are floods cause by humans?

Floods can be caused or exacerbated by human activities such as deforestation, urban development, and poor land management practices that can lead to increased runoff and flood risk. Climate change can also contribute to more frequent and severe flooding events.


Name two factors that cause season and climate to change?

1. The position of the sun. This is the biggest factor. The suns distance and angle to the earths surface effects the temperature and climate. 2. Sea temperature. The temperature of the seas help to form storms that effect the climate. People debate whether man is effecting the climate or not.


What are the effects of man made fire on the environment?

There are two types of fires 1 man made fires 2 natural fires as natural fires cause many smoke but are caused rarely such as forest fires they are less harmfull to the environment but man made fires had made can many harms to environment . They also produce many smoke and are use most wich is harmfull to ozon layar. It is the best example of global warming. they are good for humanbeings but not for nature.


How do veld fires cause climate change?

Veld fires can contribute to climate change by releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. When vegetation burns, it releases stored carbon back into the air, adding to the greenhouse gas levels that contribute to global warming. Additionally, veld fires can also destroy forests and grasslands that act as carbon sinks, further exacerbating the issue.


Who is changing the climate?

We are! When we use our cars and waste energy, it all contributes to climate change! Most climate scientists agree that man is directly responsible for climate change. The two human activities are deforestation and burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).

Is the climate change on Jupiter man-made, or a natural weather event? If it is not man-made, whcih of course it is not, then Al Gore can best help mankind by continuing to do the work that he is now doing - helping people understand the need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.

What are the man made causes of flooding?

Man-made causes of flooding include urban development that disrupts natural drainage patterns, deforestation that reduces vegetation to absorb water, and inadequate infrastructure like poorly maintained drainage systems or levees that fail to contain floodwaters. Additionally, climate change can exacerbate flooding by increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events.
