Human factors of climate change began with the Industrial Revolution in 1750 and such

industrial activities are consistently and sadly adding CO2 and other heat-trapping gases to the
atmosphere. These greenhouse gas emissions have increased the greenhouse effect and caused
Earths surface temperature to rise. The primary human activity affecting the amount and rate of
climate change is greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels some of the most
important greenhouse gases are directly emitted by humans; these include CO2, CH4, nitrous
oxide (N2O), and several others. The sources and recent trends of these gases have to do with
negative human manipulation of earths non-renewable resources and the empirical evidence for
such statements is the measurement of greenhouse gasses in parts per million over time showing
a huge increase and this increase has correlations and causations to negative environmental
phenomenons such as severe weather, acid rain etc. that scientists have a consensus on, and so
in summary, an imbalance in Earth's energy budget is a result of human activities. These
activities cause unnatural climate changes by disturbing Earth's energy budget. The changes are
causing a rise in global temperatures. Even a small change in global temperatures could have
dramatic, potentially devastating consequences because such a change affects all of Earth.
Natural nonhuman factors contributing to climate change can include the natural climate
shifts including the ice age which have been documented through environmental indicators over
time. So in general the historical record shows that the climate system varies naturally over a
wide range of time scales. And climate changes prior to the Industrial Revolution in the 1700s
can be explained by natural causes, such as changes in solar energy, volcanic eruptions, and
natural changes in greenhouse gas concentrations with proofs being the study of ice cores, tree
rings, glacier lengths, pollen remains, and ocean sediments, and by studying changes in Earths
orbit around the sun
It can be summarized as; although there is a natural balancing act of climate recent
human induced changes has tipped the scales and is leading to problematic global warming.
Global warming, also known as the enhanced greenhouse effect, is a rapid increase in overall
global temperatures caused by human activities combined with natural changes in climate. In the
last 100 years. The global increases in temperature that have been documented in recent decades
are widely believed to be the direct result of various human activities. So how can we stop this
chaos from ensuing? I have researched 3 practical strategies, 1.reduce, reuse and recycle- helps
conserve energy and reduces pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from resource extraction,
manufacturing, and disposal this is really beneficial and can help reduce the huge negative
impact of landfills.2.using EPAs energy star electronics- these electronics are efficiently
designed to be ecofriendly and not only cost effective but also energy-efficient
3. Conserving water-It takes lots of energy to pump, treat, and heat water, so saving water
substantially reduces greenhouse gas emissions and you could do this by remembering to turn off
water when not in use, take showers instead of baths and watering the lawn conservatively.
