1. Definition
Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature
over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn
fossil fuels.
2. The Greenhouse Effect
Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping. Long-lived gases that remain
semi-permanently in the atmosphere, which do not respond physically or chemically to
changes in temperature, are described as 'forcing' climate change.
3. Anthropogenic Causes
Human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas),
deforestation, and industrial agriculture, are the main drivers of rising greenhouse gas
levels.
4. Scientific Evidence
Evidence includes global temperature rise, warming oceans, shrinking ice sheets, glacial
retreat, decreased snow cover, and sea-level rise.
5. Polar Regions
The Arctic and Antarctic regions are warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet,
leading to significant ice shelf loss and rising global sea levels.
6. Extreme Weather
Climate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of extreme weather events,
including hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts, and flooding.
7. Biodiversity
Many species are struggling to adapt to rapidly changing temperatures, leading to habitat
loss, shifts in migration patterns, and increased extinction risks.
8. Economic Consequences
The economic impact involves massive costs related to disaster recovery, agricultural
failures, water scarcity, and the displacement of human populations.
9. International Policy
Agreements like the Paris Agreement aim to limit the global temperature increase to well
below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels.
10. Mitigation
Mitigation strategies include transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving
energy efficiency, and implementing carbon capture technologies.
11. Adaptation
Adaptation involves building resilient infrastructure, managing water resources more
efficiently, and developing climate-resistant agriculture.
12. Future Projections
