- Industrialization and energy use are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide.
- Climate change is a direct result of global warming caused by the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
- Emissions refer to the release of greenhouse gases, which contribute to global warming.
- Habitat destruction and animal poaching can indirectly contribute to global warming by disrupting ecosystems and reducing carbon sequestration.
- Ice melting is a visible consequence of global warming, particularly the melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, which can contribute to rising sea levels.
