Statements
Greenhouse gas emissions are the release of heat-trapping gases—such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and fluorinated gases—into the atmosphere, primarily through human activities like fossil fuel combustion, industrial processes, deforestation, and agriculture, which enhance the natural greenhouse effect and drive climate change.
