climate change and transportation

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in Earth's weather patterns, primarily caused by the increase of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Transportation contributes significantly to this issue by emitting fossil fuel combustion products from cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes. These emissions trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather. Reducing transportation emissions through cleaner energy sources, improved fuel efficiency, and alternative transport options can help mitigate climate change impacts and promote a healthier planet.
