Global warming is driven by a combination of natural and human-made factors.

Here
are 12 key reasons contributing to climate change:

Burning Fossil Fuels – Coal, oil, and gas release carbon dioxide (CO₂), trapping
heat in the atmosphere.

Deforestation – Cutting down trees reduces the Earth's ability to absorb CO₂.

Industrial Pollution – Factories emit greenhouse gases like methane (CH₄) and
nitrous oxide (N₂O).

Agriculture – Livestock farming produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Overfishing – Disrupts marine ecosystems, reducing the ocean’s ability to absorb


CO₂.

Transportation – Cars, planes, and ships burn fossil fuels, increasing emissions.

Manufacturing Goods – Producing cement, steel, and electronics releases greenhouse


gases.

Waste Management – Landfills produce methane as organic waste decomposes.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) – Used in refrigeration and aerosols, these gases damage


the ozone layer.

Urbanization – Expanding cities increase energy consumption and pollution.

Solar Intensity Variations – Changes in the Sun’s energy output can affect global
temperatures.

Water Vapor – The most abundant greenhouse gas, increasing as oceans warm.
