CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions are the release of a greenhouse gas primarily produced by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy, transportation, and industry. These emissions trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Human activities like driving cars, powering factories, and heating buildings significantly contribute to CO₂ levels. Managing and reducing these emissions is essential to limit climate impacts, protect ecosystems, and promote sustainable energy use.
