Humans are speeding up climate change in some pretty big ways:
Carbon Emissions: Every year, we put out about 36.4 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). This happens mainly because we burn fossil fuels, cut down trees, and run factories.
Deforestation: We lose around 10 million hectares of forest each year. This loss contributes to around 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the world.
Pollution: More than 75% of people around the globe live in places where air quality is not great. This leads to health problems and harms the environment.
Agricultural Practices: Farming is responsible for about 24% of greenhouse gas emissions. This mostly comes from methane produced by cows and rice farms.
These actions disturb nature, causing animals to lose their homes and leading to the extinction of some species.
