anthropogenic CO2 emissions

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions refer to carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere due to human activities. These include burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas for energy, transportation, and industry, as well as deforestation and certain agricultural practices. Because CO2 is a greenhouse gas, increased emissions contribute to global warming and climate change by trapping more heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Managing and reducing these emissions is crucial to mitigating climate impacts and promoting environmental sustainability.
