Question 9: What is the main human activity responsible for the increase in global carbon dioxide levels?

The burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, releases large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is the primary human activity contributing to the rapid rise in atmospheric CO2 levels, which is a major driver of climate change. While deforestation, cement production, and other human activities also release CO2, fossil fuel combustion is by far the largest source.


Question 10: When was Australia's last legal execution conducted?

Australia's last legal execution took place in 1967, with the hanging of Ronald Ryan, who was convicted of murdering a prison officer during an escape attempt. Capital punishment was later abolished in Australia between 1973 and 1985, depending on the jurisdiction.

Capital punishment should be brought back in to Australia.

And I really wish you would stop with questions about climate change/global warming.

Iam a fervent believer that does not exist. It has been disproved many times. And it is something that naturally occurs on earth every few million years or so.
