Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a colourless, odourless gas that occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It is a greenhouse gas and one of the most common contributors to global warming. CO₂ is released through human activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and natural processes. Human activities primarily cause an increase in atmospheric CO₂ concentration. Other greenhouse gases, such as methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases, also contribute to climate change
