"The Carbon Dioxide Theory of Climate Change"
The Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Theory of Climate Change suggests that increased CO₂ emissions from human activities—like burning fossil fuels—trap more heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming. CO₂ is a greenhouse gas, meaning it allows sunlight to enter but hampers the escape of heat back into space. As CO₂ levels rise, this greenhouse effect intensifies, causing temperatures to increase, which affects weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems. This theory is based on numerous scientific studies showing a strong link between human CO₂ emissions and the observed rise in global temperatures over recent decades.
