Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor, play a crucial role in trapping heat within the Earth's atmosphere. These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere but prevent some of the heat from escaping back into space. As a result, the planet's overall temperature rises, a phenomenon commonly known as global warming. The increase in greenhouse gas concentrations, primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, has led to more intense heat retention, contributing to climate change and the disruption of weather patterns worldwide.
The transportation sector, including cars, trucks, commercial aircraft, trains, ships, and boats, all play a significant role in the increasing amount of greenhouse gas emissions.
