INTRODUCTION
• Many of the factors that contribute to climate change are man-made.
Despite the existence of natural environmental pollutants, such as
volcanic eruptions, human activity over the last two centuries have
significantly accelerated climate change (Oba, 2014).
• The human activities contributing to climate change can all be traced
back to industrialization. The beginning of the acceleration in climate
change can similarly be traced back to start of industrial revolution
(Crafts, 2011).

INTRODUCTION
• A lot of the activities we carry out on a daily basis as well as the
products we use are mostly tied to industrialization. This therefore
means that these activities and products may be contributors of
climate change. This paper aims at identifying and analyzing daily
human activities that contribute to climate change.

USE OF VEHICLES
• This paper will focus on the use of vehicles as a daily human activity
that contribute to climate change. Vehicles are essential for daily
transportation in the world today.
• This has made vehicles more of necessities and less of luxuries. The
rapid expansion of cities has resulted in the increase in the use of
vehicles, this is since it has become impossible to go about on foot.
