The primary cause of climate change is the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. Carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a rise in global temperatures and changing climate patterns. The burning of coal, oil, and natural gas for energy is a significant contributor, along with agricultural practices and land-use changes. Addressing climate change requires global cooperation to reduce emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and invest in renewable energy technologies.
