What is the cause of the global environmental crisis? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
Carbon emissions have greatly increased over the past 200 years, as humanity discovered coal and factories and motor vehicles. Human population has also increased from one billion to almost six billion, and all these people want to live with refrigerators, televisions and motor vehicles with air conditioning. This puts tremendous pressure on governments all over the world to provide more and more electricity. Most electricity is produced by burning coal and other fossil fuels.
The greenhouse effect is when the gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and other gases build up in the atmosphere and absorb that heat that used to be reflected out into space.
