Question

Do pesticides contribute to global warming?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Pesticides have an impact on climate change because of the way they are made, transported, and applied.
2. Pesticide toxicity rises in tandem with rising water temperatures.
3. When water temperatures rise, the impacts of even low quantities of pesticides in streams become more pronounced, putting fish and other aquatic life at risk.
4. Pesticides contribute to global warming.
5. During the manufacture of pesticides, three major greenhouse gases are released:

• Carbon dioxide
• Methane
• Nitrous oxide.
