Contributing to Climate Change - Lici Mixson

 Though we have many new technologies being developed to help reduce our carbon emissions. There are many of the technologies that we use frequently on a daily basis are good contributors to climate change. Such as the our energy sources, our transportation, and our agricultural methods are major contributors to climate change. We get a large portion of our energy such as heat, gas, electricity from the burning of fossil fuels, which is the worlds leading contributor to climate change. Our transportation is also a major source of the emission of greenhouse gas, due to our culture and society being so reliant on cars, planes, and other forms of transportation on a mass scale. Agriculture accounts for roughly 20% of our greenhouse emissions, and with new technologies being developed to make large scale agriculture more efficient we can only predict that the amount of greenhouse gas that is produced from agriculture to increase in the coming years.
