Causes of climate change Causes and Consequences of Climate Change Humans are increasingly influencing the climate and the earth's temperature by burning fossil fuels, cutting down rainforests and farming livestock. This adds enormous amounts of greenhouse gases to those naturally occurring in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) gives us the energy for vehicles and machines with engines to move. However, it also produces carbon dioxide as an emission. Tâ¦his carbon has been hidden away underground for 300 million years, so releasing it now is causing global warming and climate change.
