The study of environmental science includes circumstances, objects, or conditions by which an organism or community is surrounded and the complex ways in which they interact.

In 2018, the additional flux of carbon into the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources was estimated to be 36.6 gigatons of carbon (GtC = 1 billion tons of carbon)—a significant disturbance to the natural carbon cycle that had been in balance for several thousand years previously.

Natural factors include Milankovitch cycles, solar variations, and volcanic activity, while human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and agriculture contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. This increase, especially in carbon dioxide and methane, creates a positive feedback loop that intensifies global warming.
