What are the causes of Climate Change?

1. According to United Nations, Generating electricity and heat by burning


fossil fuels – coal, oil, or gas – causes a large chunk of the greenhouse
gases, such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, that blanket the Earth and
trap the sun’s heat. Most electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels.
The energy supply sector (electricity, heat, and other energy) is the largest
contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for approx.
35% of total emissions. Globally, residential and commercial buildings,
consume over half of all electricity.

2. According to European Commission, Burning fossil fuels, cutting down


forests and farming livestock are increasingly influencing the climate and
the earth’s temperature. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases
to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse
effect and global warming. The main driver of climate change is the
greenhouse effect. Some gases in the Earth's atmosphere act a bit like the
glass in a greenhouse, trapping the sun's heat and stopping it from leaking
back into space and causing global warming.

3. I surveyed 10 people, and the question is “What is the main cause of


Climate Change”. And most of their answer is cutting down trees, and
burning fossil fuels to generate energy. They also answered that in order to
prevent Climate change is to reuse things that is still useable, stop burning
fossil fuels that may harm our environment, and to have discipline in using
energy at any instances.
