Small industries' greenhouse gas emissions threaten coastal cities and wildlife, new calculations reveal alarming climate impact.
The article looks at how small industries release gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide which contribute to global warming. The researchers did some basic math to figure out how much of these gases are let out by a typical small factory, like mills and power plants. These emissions heat up our world and might make sea levels rise, causing problems for coastal areas and making some animals go extinct by 2050. The study uses a simple method to estimate the greenhouse gases coming from fossil fuels that small industries use, showing how these gases add to climate change and its effects.
