Global warming is one of the most pressing issues humanity faces today. It refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to human activities, particularly the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This has profound effects on ecosystems, weather patterns, and human livelihoods.
Our planet is changing at an unprecedented rate. While the effects of global warming are increasingly evident, solutions are possible. Every individual has a role to play in reducing carbon footprints and taking action for a sustainable future. Together, we can help make a significant difference.
Global warming affects every part of life, from the air we breathe to the food we eat. It impacts agriculture, water availability, biodiversity, human health, and even our economies. It’s essential for everyone to understand the issues and work towards solutions. Let’s explore the major causes, effects, and solutions to global warming below.
