    Overfishing, industrialization, farming, consumerism, transportation, oil drilling, power plants, waste, deforestation, and the use of oil and gases are 10 causes of climate change according to the document. These human activities pollute the environment, release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, destroy forests that absorb carbon dioxide, and contribute to global warming.

    The key causes of climate change discussed are overfishing, industrialization, farming, consumerism, transportation, oil drilling, power plants, waste, deforestation, and fossil fuel usage.

    The main causes of climate change discussed are overfishing, industrialization, farming, transportation, oil drilling, power plants, waste, deforestation, and fossil fuel usage.

    Deforestation contributes to climate change because trees and forests absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen. When forests are cleared, the stored carbon is released back into the environment, contributing to global warming.

    CAUSES OF CLIMATE CHANGES

    There are 10 causes or climate change

    1. Overfishing
    Due to the amount of people buying and consuming fish, there is
    now a reduced amount of marine life. Overfishing has also caused a
    lack of diversity within the ocean.

    2. Industrialization

    The waste this industry produces all ends up in landfills, or in our


    surrounding environment. The chemicals and materials used within
    industrialisation can not only pollute the atmosphere but also the soil
    underneath it.

    3. Farming
    Farming takes up a lot of green space meaning local
    environments can be destroyed to create space for farming.
    These animals produce a lot of greenhouse gases for example
    methane, as well as this they also produce an extreme amount
    of waste.

    4. Consumerism
    Due to the innovations in technology and manufacturing
    customers are able to purchase any product at any time. Most
    items we purchase aren't very sustainable, and because of the
    reduced lifetime of electronics and clothing items, we are
    creating more waste than ever.
    5. Transport and Vehicles
    Burning fossil fuels releases carbon and other types of
    pollutants into the atmosphere. This makes transportation
    partly responsible for the greenhouse gases. This effect could
    be reduced with the introduction of electric vehicles.

    6. fuels to operate, due to this they produce a variety of different


    pollutants. The pollution they Oil Drilling
    Oil drilling is responsible for 30% of the methane population
    and around 8% carbon dioxide pollution. Oil drilling is used to
    collect petroleum oil hydrocarbons in this process other gases
    are released into the atmosphere, which contribute to climate
    change.

    7. Power Plants
    Power plants burn fossil produce not only ends up in the
    atmosphere but also in the water ways, this largely contributes
    to global warming.

    8. Waste
    A lot of items, waste and packaging isn’t recyclable, which
    means it ends up in landfills. When the waste in landfills begins
    to decompose/break down it releases harmful gases into the
    atmosphere which contribute to global warming.
    9. Deforestation
    Trees and forests turn carbon dioxide into oxygen, so when they are
    cleared like the stored carbon is then released into the environment.
    Deforestation can also occur naturally which has a greater effect
    because of the fumes released from the fire.

    10. Oil and Gases


    Oil and Gas is used all the time in almost every industry. It is used the
    most in vehicles, buildings, production and to produce
    electricity. When we burn coal, oil and gases it largely adds to the
    climate problem. Burning oil releases carbon dioxide into the
    atmosphere, contributing to the warming of our planet. The use of
    fossil fuels is also a threat to wildlife and the surrounding
    environments, because of the toxicity it kills off plant life and leaves
    areas uninhabitable.
