Has the present rise of CO2 ppm been proved to be caused by human activity?
General Knowledge & Education1. Understanding the Greenhouse Effect The Earth’s atmosphere contains a mixture of gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), which plays a crucial role in regulating the planet’s temperature. This is due to the greenhouse effect, a natural process that allows solar radiation to enter the atmosphere and warm the Earth’s surface. Some of this heat is
