All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above factors have contributed to increased CO2 emissions. Unsustainable population growth leads to an increased demand for resources and energy, resulting in more CO2 emissions. Agricultural expansion often involves deforestation and the use of fertilizers and fossil fuels, all of which contribute to CO2 emissions. Forest depletion not only reduces the potential for carbon absorption through deforestation but also releases stored carbon when forests are burned or decay.
