Human causes of climate change

• Deforestation


  • Large-scale deforestation in the Amazon rainforest for agriculture and logging activities. Which the wood can be further used fore fuel.
• Cattle Farming


  • Approximately 1.5 billion cows globally, with significant populations in India, Brazil, and the US, contribute massively to methane emissions and deforestation.
• Burning of Fossil Fuels

  • As of early 2024, there were 1.47 billion cars worldwide, continually increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
• ChloroFluoroCarbons (CFCs)


  • Old refrigerators not correctly disposed of can release CFCs when the foam insulation inside them is shredded. And are 10,000 more powerful at trapping heat than carbon dioxide.
• Paddy Fields


  • Extensive rice cultivation in developing countries, where rice is a staple diet, releases significant methane.
• Landfill Sites


  • The continuous methane emissions from waste buried in landfill sites contribute to long-term greenhouse gas emissions.
