Contributing Factors to Climate Change (Process is stated from top to bottom strands)
Burning fossil fuels
CO2 traps heat in atmosphere (greenhouse effect)
Global temperature rises
CO2 is released into atmosphere
Oil/gas/coal gets burned
Deforestation
Less trees are left to absorb CO2
Extra CO2 stays in atmosphere
Forests get cut down or burned
Increased greenhouse gases traps heat (greenhouse effect)
Global temperature rises
Agriculture and Livestock
They release methane into atmosphere
Methane traps heat (greenhouse effect)
Livestock digest food
Global temperature rises
Nitrous oxide traps heat (greenhouse effect)
Fertilizer releases nitrous oxide into atmosphere
Global temperature rises
Crops get fertilized
Industrial Activities
Manufacturing materials releases greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O)
Gases build up in atmosphere and trap heat (greenhouse effect)
Factories produce materials
Global temperature rises
Waste
Waste breaks down without oxygen
Methane releases into atmosphere
Waste gets buried in landfills
Methane traps heat (greenhouse effect)
Global temperature rises
