Answer
Construction of high rise buildings cause global warming in the following ways:
It increases energy consumption as high-rise buildings require large amounts of electricity for lighting, heating, cooling, and operating elevators. Much of this energy is often generated from burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere.
The construction process itself (manufacturing cement, steel, etc.) releases a significant amount of greenhouse gases, further adding to global warming.
