ExplanationCarbon dioxide emissions result from burning fossil fuels.
#4
How does deforestation affect the Greenhouse Effect?
Increases greenhouse gas concentrations by reducing carbon dioxide absorption
ExplanationDeforestation reduces carbon absorption, raising greenhouse gas levels.
#5
What role do oceans play in the Greenhouse Effect?
Oceans absorb about a quarter of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity
ExplanationOceans absorb significant human-emitted carbon dioxide.
#6
What is the significance of the Kyoto Protocol?
