In the picture
- Dark plume from a factory smokestack: industrial emissions
- Exhaust pipe on a car: transport emissions
- Vent on a cattle shed: farming emissions
- Dense grey band above the surface: thickened heat-trapping layer
- Red wavy line bouncing near the surface: trapped heat
Examples
- A petrol car engine releasing exhaust on a daily drive.
- A cattle farm where animals release methane.
Key takeaways
- Industry, transport, and farming add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
- More trapped heat raises the average global temperature and disrupts climate.
