Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide

Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) refers to the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere mainly due to human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and gas), deforestation, and industrial processes. These activities increase the amount of CO₂ beyond natural levels, trapping more heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This enhanced greenhouse effect contributes to global warming and climate change, impacting weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems worldwide. Reducing anthropogenic CO₂ emissions is crucial for mitigating these environmental impacts and fostering a sustainable future.
