The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause the Earth's temperature to rise.

Water vapor is a natural component of the Earth's atmosphere and is not considered a greenhouse gas.

Global warming is the term used to describe the increase in the Earth's average temperature due to human activities.

Electricity generation is responsible for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels.

Climate change damages refer to the economic costs associated with the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise, extreme weather events, and changes in agricultural yields.

Reduced energy costs are not a potential benefit of climate change, as climate change is expected to lead to higher energy costs in most regions.

Climate change mitigation refers to the policies and measures that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.

Geoengineering is not a common type of climate change mitigation policy, as it is still in the early stages of research and development.

Climate change adaptation refers to the policies and measures that are designed to help communities and ecosystems adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Geoengineering is not a common type of climate change adaptation policy, as it is still in the early stages of research and development.

Climate change resilience refers to the ability of a community or ecosystem to withstand and recover from the impacts of climate change.

Geoengineering is not a factor that can contribute to climate change resilience, as it is still in the early stages of research and development.

The Paris Agreement is the international agreement that was adopted in 2015 to address climate change.

The goal of the Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

The United States is the only country that is not a party to the Paris Agreement.
