CO2 emissions
CO2 emissions refer to the release of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere, primarily from human activities like burning fossil fuels for energy, transportation, and industrial processes. CO2 is a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. As global temperatures rise, it can lead to severe weather events, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels. Reducing CO2 emissions is crucial for mitigating climate change impacts and promoting a sustainable future. Efforts include transitioning to renewable energy sources, increasing energy efficiency, and reforestation.
