Because we create CO2 every time we drive a car, cook a meal, or turn on a light, and because the gas lasts
I know that a compound-complex sentence consists of at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause.
Now, If the following is 'compound-complex', why do we have only one independent clause? And if this sentence is only a complex sentence, why do we have 'and' as a coordinator?
Because we create CO2 every time we drive a car, cook a meal, or turn on a light, and because the gas lasts around a century in the atmosphere, the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere is rapidly increasing.
