Although nature Earth processes contribute to climate change, human activities escalate the problem. By burning fossil fuels, farming livestock, and cutting down forests, we negatively impact our air quality and release large volumes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This in turn increases the global average temperature. As a result, global warming is rising at a rate of 0.2°C (32.36°F) every 10 years. The ultimate aim is to work toward net-zero, which would mean that humans no longer contribute to global warming.
