Study Notes
Causes of Global Warming
- Deforestation: Forests absorb carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas. Reduced forests disrupt this process, contributing to global warming.
- Vehicle Use: Vehicles burning fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases into the atmosphere, increasing global temperatures.
- Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs): Excessive use of air conditioners and refrigerators leads to CFC emissions, impacting the ozone layer.
- Industrial Development: Industrial emissions significantly contribute to Earth's rising temperature.
