Three causes (brief):
- Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas): releases large amounts of CO2, the main long-lived greenhouse gas driving global warming.
- Deforestation and land‑use change: removes trees that absorb CO2 and often releases stored carbon when land is cleared.
- Agriculture and industrial processes: produce methane (livestock, rice paddies), nitrous oxide (fertilizers) and other greenhouse gases from manufacturing and cement production.
Three effects on the environment (brief):
- Rising temperatures: warmer global average temperatures lead to heatwaves, earlier snowmelt and shrinking glaciers and polar ice.
- Sea‑level rise and coastal impacts: thermal expansion of warming oceans plus melting ice cause higher seas, increasing coastal flooding, erosion and habitat loss.
- Ecosystem disruption and biodiversity loss: changing climates, altered precipitation and ocean acidification harm habitats (coral reefs, wetlands, forests), forcing species migrations, population declines and extinctions.
