Answer 1

Climate change is a result of increasing carbon dioxide emissions.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, and industrial processes release large amounts of CO₂.

As CO₂ levels rise, more heat is trapped, leading to global warming,a key driver of climate change, which includes rising temperatures, melting glaciers, sea-level rise, and extreme weather patterns.
