Other possible causes

Agricoltura

Agricoltura

Agriculture does not use much fossil fuel, just enough to keep tractors running. Its carbon emissions are high, bu mainly because of methane and nitrous oxide.
Conflitti armati

Conflitti armati

Conflicts are often linked to fossil fuels, but the link is more the other way round.

Other possible consequences

Attività umane

Combustibili fossili

What comes first? Do human activities cause the use of fossil fuels or do fossil fuels ensable human activities? Don't waste time on this and group the two cards together if necessary. Plenty of activities, happily, do not require burning fossil fuels, like windmills and watermills grinding grains for flour.
Biodiversità marina

Combustibili fossili

Oils slicks in the ocean are an example of a link between fossil fuels and marine biodiversity.
Conflitti armati

Combustibili fossili

Although conflicts may occur because of resources, they are not directly caused by climate change, rather by resource depletion or scarcity. The relationship can be made, but it is due more to politics than to the climate crisis.
