Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. The primary sources of these emissions include burning fossil fuels for energy, deforestation, and industrial processes. Global warming is a significant aspect of climate change, which encompasses broader changes in weather patterns, sea level rise, and increased frequency of extreme weather events. The consequences of global warming pose severe risks to ecosystems, human health, and economies around the globe. Addressing global warming requires international cooperation and efforts to reduce carbon emissions, transition to renewable energy sources, and enhance sustainability practices.
