Global Warming

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). This increase in temperature is primarily driven by the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and various industrial processes that release these gases into the atmosphere. Global warming is a significant aspect of climate change and contributes to a range of environmental impacts, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, shifts in wildlife populations and habitats, and disruptions to agricultural production. The phenomenon is closely monitored and studied due to its potential effects on ecosystems, human health, and economies worldwide. Addressing global warming requires international cooperation and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to renewable energy sources.
