Human Energy Use Plays A Large Part In Creating CO2 Greenhou

Question

Human Energy Use Plays A Large Part Into Creating Co2 Greenhouse Gas Human Energy Use Plays A Large Part Into Creating Co2 Greenhouse Gas Human energy consumption has a profound impact on the production of carbon dioxide (CO2) greenhouse gases, which significantly contribute to global climate change. The reliance on fossil fuels—especially coal, oil, and natural gas—has intensified this issue due to the substantial emissions generated during their combustion. Among these fuels, coal is notably responsible for a large portion of global CO2 emissions. In 2012, coal accounted for approximately 29% of the world's energy supply and contributed around 44% of total CO2 emissions. This correlation delineates a clear link between human consumption patterns and the escalation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, exacerbating climate change. It is important to recognize that other greenhouse gases, such as methane, also play significant roles, stemming from natural sources like wetlands and human activities like agriculture and waste management. The global dependence on fossil fuels has not only intensified environmental concerns but has also created complex geopolitical dynamics. Countries rich in oil and coal wield considerable influence, often engaging in resource-based power struggles and barter negotiations. These geopolitical factors complicate efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as energy resources are intertwined with economic and political interests. For instance, nations with abundant oil reserves often resist transitioning to cleaner energy sources due to the economic implications and dependence on energy exports. This dynamic poses a substantial obstacle to international efforts aimed at curbing climate change. Nevertheless, there are encouraging developments towards reducing dependency on fossil fuels. Several countries have begun investing in renewable energy technologies and implementing policies aimed at decarbonizing their energy sectors. Germany, fo
