Question
which do most scientists claim is the cause of earths changing climate?
a. radiation leaks from power plants
b. improper disposal of pesticides
c. the burning of fossil fuels
d. oil leaks and spills
The burning of fossil fuels releases large amounts of greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide). These greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a rise in global temperatures and climate change. Radiation leaks from power plants (nuclear - related issues) mainly pose risks to local ecosystems and human health in the vicinity of the plant in terms of radiation exposure. Improper disposal of pesticides affects local soil, water (contaminating them), and local biodiversity. Oil leaks and spills have a major impact on marine and coastal ecosystems, killing marine life, affecting coastal habitats, but they are not the main cause of global climate change.
