| Description |
Global increase in atmospheric concentrations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases is attributed to fossil fuel combustion, cement manufacturing and land use changes. The latter involves deforestation, biomass burning, draining of wetlands, ploughing, use of fertilizers and manufacturing and other agricultural practices. The greenhouse gases especially CO2, N2O and CH4 trap the heat that is radiated by the earth surface then lead to warming of atmosphere. The emissions from human activities are also increasing the amount of CO2 and CH4 in the atmosphere, resulting in enhancement of greenhouse effect and thus, increases surface temperature, which is also known as global warming.
