COx refers to carbon oxides, specifically carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). These gases are produced through incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and contribute to climate change.
Greenhouse Effect: The greenhouse effect refers to the trapping of heat in Earth's atmosphere due to increased levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). It contributes to global warming.
Combustion: Combustion is a chemical reaction that occurs when a fuel combines with oxygen to produce heat and light. It is the process responsible for burning fossil fuels and releasing COx into the atmosphere.
Climate Change: Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other aspects of Earth's climate system. It is primarily caused by human activities, including the release of COx gases.
