what is causing climate change

Climate change is primarily caused by human activities, particularly the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and certain agricultural practices are the main contributors to the increase in these greenhouse gases. These gases act like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the suns heat and causing global warming. While natural causes such as changes in solar radiation and volcanic activity have some influence, they are not sufficient to explain the rapid warming seen in recent decades. Therefore, it is widely accepted that human activity is the primary driver of climate change.
