Almost everyone said they did at least one activity, most commonly turning off the lights when no one is using them (95%), but they said they don\u2019t do it to help the environment\u2014they do it to save money. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=137\">Bessent Defends Justice Alito\u2019s Son Working For Trump\u2019s Treasury Department<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Big Number<\/h2>\n<p>About two-thirds.

The Environmental Protection Agency says there are multiple lines of evidence showing changes in temperature and precipitation patterns; increases in ocean temperature, sea level and acidity; melting glaciers and sea ice; more frequent and extreme weather events; and changes to ecosystem patterns, like the length of the growing season and migration of birds. Those changes are caused by a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the subsequent warming of the planet due to the greenhouse effect, according to the EPA, much of which is driven by human behavior. Humans create greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels for heat and energy, clearing forests, fertilizing crops, storing waste in landfills, raising livestock, manufacturing industrial products and dozens of other behaviors that introduce more carbon into the atmosphere. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=133\">White House UFC Event: Who\u2019s Really Going\u2014After Adam Sandler And Mario Lopez Decline<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Further Reading<\/h2>\n<p><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>In 2026, Climate Change Is No Longer A Theoretical Risk<\/span><small>By <span>Dianne Plummer<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>Evaluating The Evidence For Climate Change\u2014And Its Impacts<\/span><small>By <span>Dianne Plummer<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><span><span>Forbes<\/span><span>Scientists Are Counting The Diseases Climate Change Causes<\/span><small>By <span>John Drake<\/span><\/small><\/span><span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists have reached a consensus that human behavior is a big driver of climate change\u2014but Americans aren&#8217;t buying it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
