Anthropogenic causes of climate change
Deforestation
Loss of forest due to removal or clearance of tress in a forested area.
Trees are felled for wood to make products such as paper and building material.
Removed for mining activities, grazing of animals, planting of crops and construction of infrastructure
The loss of forests reduced the ability of the Earth to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Agriculture
the practice of cultivating land, producing crops and raising livestock
The third highest contributor of green house gases
Cattle farming contributes as cattle releases methane as waste gas
Industries
The production of goods and services within the country
Secondary industries
industrial economic activities
manufacturing, burning of fossil fuels that results in greenhouse gas emission
Also released when goods are produced
Urbanisation
increasing number of people live in urban areas like cities or towns
Fossil fuels are burnt to provide energy for household activities
Like heating, cooling, cooking, lighting
High concentration of cars, buses, and other transportation in urban areas contributes to greenhouse gases also
