Answer:
An increase in the combustion of fossil fuels
Explanation:
A) An increase in the combustion of fossil fuels will will increase the rate at which carbon dioxide is being added to the Earth’s atmosphere.
What are fossil fuels?
- The decay of buried organisms that died millions of years ago produces fossil fuels.
- They produce carbon-rich deposits, which are mined and burned for energy.
- They are non-renewable and currently provide roughly 80% of global energy.
- Coal, oil, and gas are the three forms of fossil fuels.
How does Fossil fuels contribute to increased production of carbon dioxide?
- When fossil fuels are burned, massive quantities of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, are released into the atmosphere.
- Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, which trap heat in our atmosphere.
- The average global temperature has already risen by 1 degree Celsius.
- More sea level rise, extreme weather, biodiversity loss, and species extinction are all threats of warming exceeding 1.5°C.
hence an increase in the combustion of fossil fuels which has already exceeded its limit will increase the rate at which carbon dioxide is being added to the Earth’s atmosphere.
- Humans planting trees in the Amazon forest will help in decreasing the carbon dioxide in the atmostphere because trees are the sinks of CO2 and intake carbon dioxide for their own energy production.
- An increase in the area of preserved forests will again help in lowering CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
- Solar energy usage replacing use of fossil fuels will reduce the burning of fossil fuels and hence will reduce CO2 in atmosphere.
