Causes of climate change

• What are the main fossil fuels that contribute to climate change?


  Petrol, gas, coal, and natural gas
• How do fossil fuels contribute to climate change?


  They release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when burned
• What is the relationship between CO2 levels and global warming?


  As CO2 levels increase, the planet gets warmer
• What is a major consequence of increased vehicles using petrol and diesel?


  Increased emissions of greenhouse gases
• Why is public transport important in reducing emissions?


  It reduces the number of vehicles on the road
• How does agriculture contribute to climate change?

  It uses fossil fuels for production and transportation, releasing greenhouse gases
• What greenhouse gas is released from livestock and rice paddies?

  Methane
• What is one negative impact of certain agricultural practices?

  They can cause deforestation
• What gas is produced from waste in landfills?

  Methane
• How does concrete production affect climate change?


  It releases CO2 into the atmosphere
• What is the impact of constructing more buildings on CO2 emissions?


  It leads to more CO2 emissions
• What is the purpose of dams in relation to water usage?


  To create reservoirs for drinking, cooking, washing, and generating electricity
• What happens when water levels are very high in relation to methane?


  More methane is released, contributing to global warming
• How do trees contribute to CO2 absorption?


  Trees naturally absorb CO2 from the atmosphere
• What is the effect of deforestation on CO2 levels?


  It causes an increase in CO2 levels
• What happens to CO2 when trees are cut down and burnt?


  CO2 is released into the atmosphere
• What type of resources are petrol, gas, coal, and natural gas?


  Non-renewable resources
• What is the significance of public transport in relation to emissions?


  It is important because it reduces the number of individual vehicles on the road
• How does the production and transportation of food contribute to climate change?

  It uses fossil fuels, leading to the release of greenhouse gases
