What Causes

Climate Change

The causes of current climate change is the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by human activities, mainly (but not exclusively) from burning fossil fuels.

Meat Consumption

A global transition toward low-meat diets could reduce the costs of climate change mitigation.

Burning of Fossil Fuels

The burning of fossil fuels is causing forests and oceans to take up as much CO2 as fast as they can (about half of what we are burning).

When Climate Change Started

The biggest impact of climate change started in the 1700s, during the Industrial Revolution.

The Industrial Revolution kick-started global warming much earlier than we realized - at the time, nobody thought that burning fossil fuels would have an almost immediate effect on the climate.

Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution

was the start of new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, the increased use of steam power, the development

of machine tools, and the rise

of the factory system.
