  2. Causes of climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_climate_change

    Human activity since the Industrial Revolution (about 1750), mainly extracting and burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting in a radiative imbalance. Over the past 150 years human activities have released increasing quantities of greenhouse gases into the ...

  3. List of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_locations_and...

    Emissions attributed to specific power stations around the world, color-coded by type of fuel used at the station. Lower half focuses on Europe and Asia [1]. This article is a list of locations and entities by greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. the greenhouse gas emissions from companies, activities, and countries on Earth which cause climate change.

  4. Climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

    Natural forces cause some variability, but the 20-year average shows the progressive influence of human activity. [2] Present-day climate change includes both global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its wider effects on Earth's climate.

  5. Greenhouse gas emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions

    Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities intensify the greenhouse effect. This contributes to climate change. Carbon dioxide (CO 2), from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, is one of the most important factors in causing climate change.

  6. Effects of climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change

    Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

  7. Scientific consensus on climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_consensus_on...

    The human activities causing this warming include fossil fuel combustion, cement production, and land use changes such as deforestation, [3]: 10–11 with a significant supporting role from the other greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide. [1]: 7 This human role in climate change is considered "unequivocal" and "incontrovertible".
