Learn how it affects your health and what actions—like planting trees and switching to electric vehicles—you can take to protect the environment. --- ✍️ 1. What Is Climate Change? Climate change refers to the long-term shift in weather patterns and average global temperatures. It is largely driven by human activities, especially the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) from factories, cars, and the burning of fossil fuels. --- 🔥 2. Where Do Greenhouse Gases Come From? 🏭 a) Industrial Activities Factories and manufacturing plants are major sources of CO₂ and methane. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures. 🚗 b) Cars and Motor Vehicles Traditional cars that use petrol or diesel emit huge amounts of CO₂. In many cities, vehicles are th...
