Interconnected Factors Contributing to Climate Change, References:, IMG…

- - - - Changes
        
        Snow or ice
        
        When the Earth's surface is covered in snow or ice, it reflects more sunlight back into space, which can cool the planet.
        
        Dark forests or oceans
        
        When the Earth's surface is covered in dark forests or oceans, it absorbs more sunlight, which can warm the planet
- - - - Why?
        
        Due to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
        
        These gases trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space, leading to a warming effect
      - Relation between Albedo Effect, Global Warming and Carbon Footprint
        The Albedo Effect, Global Warming, and Carbon Footprint are related in several ways. The Albedo Effect is the reflection of sunlight off the Earth's surface, and it can impact global warming by reflecting or absorbing sunlight12. A decrease in surface albedo over ice-covered ocean leads to global warming and Arctic-amplified warming3. Carbon Footprint, on the other hand, contributes to global warming by releasing greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere45. Therefore, reducing carbon footprint can help mitigate global warming, while increasing surface albedo can help reduce global warming. Overall, these factors are interconnected and contribute to climate change, which has significant impacts on the environment and human societies.
- - - - Why?
        
        A as result of human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.
        
        These emissions contribute to global warming
- - - - Consequences
        
        This can lead to the buildup of pollutants, such as smog, which can have negative health effects
