Slide 2: What is Global Warming?
● Definition: Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average
surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of
greenhouse gases.

Slide 3: Causes of Global Warming
● Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
(N2O), and fluorinated gases released from burning fossil fuels, deforestation,
industrial processes, and agriculture.

Slide 4: Consequences of Global Warming
● Rising Temperatures: Increased frequency of heatwaves, melting polar ice caps,
and rising sea levels.
● Extreme Weather Events: Intensification of hurricanes, droughts, floods, and
wildfires.
