Video: How Air Pollution Relates to Climate Change

While doing the In-Class Scavenger Hunt assignment, I found a video that relates to my previous post with the fact that air pollution is the main cause of global warming.

Here's the link to the video:

This video examines the causes of ozone depletion and the buildup of greenhouse gases in affecting the climate change. It also illustrates the key roles that agriculture, deforestation, and pollution play in contributing to global warming.
This video helps to draw a relationship between how human activities and gases, such as methane and carbon dioxide, can have an impact on climate change. It examines the sources I talked about in my previous post, such as methane, CO2, and nitrous oxide on a deeper level.  For instance, it mentioned cutting down the forest's trees lead to more CO2 in the atmosphere as there'll be less plants to uptake CO2. The same goes for agriculture and raising more animal as they could lead to more methane emissions.
