How does air pollution affect climate change?

Air pollution contributes to climate change by increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat.

Can you explain how specific pollutants like CO2 and methane play a role?

Certainly! CO2 is a major greenhouse gas from burning fossil fuels, while methane is more potent and comes from agriculture and waste.

What are the long-term effects of air pollution on the climate?

Long-term effects include rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems.

How can we reduce air pollution to combat climate change?

We can reduce air pollution by transitioning to renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, and promoting public transport.
