Document Summary

Explain there role in the atmosphere and connect to climate patterns. Carbon dioxide is the most common ghg and it can be caused by a lot of things like burning of materials, burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. By cutting down trees and clearing forests the natural cycle of weather changes over time and is negatively effected. Explain climate change as a scientific theory. Burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests are the two biggest causes of climate. When fossil fuels are being burned, gng are emitted into the atmosphere and it is trapped. The more gng are getting trapped, the temperature of the atmosphere is also rising which causes unpredictable and extreme weather patterns. By cutting down trees and clearing forests, we are hampering the natural ecosystem cycle that used to take in carbon dioxide and gave oxygen in return. List human activities that contribute to climate change.
