2. • Climate change refers to long term shifts in temperature and
weather patterns.
• Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity
or large volcanic eruptions.
• Human activities have been the main driver of climate
change.

4. Main causes of climate change are burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil
and gas.
Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a
blanket wrapped around the earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising
temperatures.
Methane and carbon dioxide are the two primary greenhouse gases
responsible for climate change.
5. These result, for instance, from burning coal to heat a building or
petrol to operate a vehicle.
Carbon dioxide can also be released through land clearing and forest
destruction.
The two main industries that emit methane are agriculture and oil and
gas operations.
Land use, buildings, transportation, energy, and manufacturing are
some of the main businesses that emit greenhouse gases.
