increase in human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy. This includes activities like industrial production, transportation, electricity generation, and heating. Deforestation and land-use changes also contribute to higher CO2 levels, as these practices reduce the number of trees and plants that can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. Additionally, agricultural practices and certain waste management processes release greenhouse gases, further exacerbating the problem. As a result, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere today is significantly higher than in pre-industrial times, leading to climate change and its associated impacts.
