Anthropogenic CO2

Anthropogenic CO₂ refers to carbon dioxide emissions produced by human activities, primarily from burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas for energy, transportation, and industry. These activities increase the amount of CO₂ in the atmosphere beyond natural levels, contributing to climate change by trapping heat and raising global temperatures. While CO₂ is a natural part of Earth's carbon cycle, human-made emissions have significantly boosted its concentration, impacting the environment and weather patterns. Reducing anthropogenic CO₂ emissions is crucial to mitigating climate change and protecting ecosystems and human health.
