This is a direct result of excessive greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), and the exploitation of natural resources for capitalistic gain. This can happen naturally, as growing trees and plants turn CO2 into biomass—this is the foundational premise of Natural Climate Solutions.
