Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overpopulation contributes to global warming primarily through increased demand for resources, which leads to deforestation (for agriculture and living space), expanded agricultural activities (which can release greenhouse gases like methane), and a higher consumption of fossil fuels for energy, transportation, and industrial activities. These actions increase the emission of greenhouse gases, thereby exacerbating global warming.
