      I think global warming is also being caused by humans burning fossil fuels, cutting down a huge amount of trees and the farming industry which releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gasses trap the heat which would otherwise go off into space and is causing the earth to slowly heat up.
      It’s not my area of research though, if you’re interested to learn more I recommend NASA’s website! https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

    We are causing climate change/global warming – humans. We keep taking and using natural resources and converting them to gases that the earth cannot cope with anymore. We convert natural resources and convert them for our use. But we waste them too. We knock trees, plants and shrubs (habitats for wildlife) so the Earth has less and less resources to filter and clean the air we contaminate.
