The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to global warming.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere, accounting for approximately 76% of the total greenhouse effect.

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

While climate change can have various negative impacts, improved agricultural yields are generally not considered a direct consequence of climate change.

Climate refers to the average weather conditions in a region over a long period, typically 30 years, while weather refers to the short-term atmospheric conditions.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel and therefore not a renewable energy source, unlike solar energy, wind energy, and hydropower.

Carbon fixation is the process by which plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into organic compounds during photosynthesis.

Oxygen (O₂) is not a greenhouse gas because it does not absorb and trap heat in the atmosphere like other greenhouse gases.

The greenhouse effect is the process by which the Earth's atmosphere traps heat from the sun, causing the planet's temperature to rise.

Climate change can lead to increased risk of heat-related illnesses, such as heatstroke and heat exhaustion, due to rising temperatures.

Carbon mitigation refers to the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the effects of climate change.

While climate change can have various negative impacts on ecosystems, improved ecosystem productivity is generally not considered a direct consequence.

The greenhouse effect is the process by which the Earth's atmosphere absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation, causing the planet's temperature to rise.

Climate change can lead to changes in crop yields, both positive and negative, due to altered temperature and precipitation patterns.

The greenhouse effect is the process by which the Earth's atmosphere traps heat from the sun, causing the planet's temperature to rise.
