Climate Change

A carbon footprint is the total amount of greenhouse gases released by an individual, organisation, event, or product. Measuring and reducing carbon footprints is a key part of tackling climate change.

Global warming is the long-term rise in Earth's average temperature caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. It is causing melting ice, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events worldwide.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps Earth warm enough to support life. Human activities have enhanced it by releasing extra greenhouse gases, trapping more heat and causing global warming.
