    Even though climate change is partially caused by the natural cycles of Earth‚ humans are still a major part of it. Greenhouse gases‚ such as carbon dioxide‚ absorb and emit heat in the atmosphere‚ keeping Earth warm enough to support life. However‚ human activities‚ such as burning fossil fuels‚ are adding large amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Earth must get rid of energy at the same rate it receives energy. More greenhouse gases mean that more heat is being held in the atmosphere
