Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere, causing rising sea levels, melting glaciers, extreme weather, and ecosystem disruption. It’s driven by the enhanced greenhouse effect, where gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) trap heat, warming the planet and leading to significant climate change impacts. Solutions involve reducing emissions, adopting renewable energy, conserving resources, and protecting forests.
Causes
- Burning Fossil Fuels: Coal, oil, and gas for electricity, transport, and industry release large amounts of CO2.
- Deforestation: Trees absorb CO2, so cutting them down reduces this natural absorption.
- Industrial Processes & Agriculture: Manufacturing and farming contribute methane and nitrous oxide.
Effects
- Rising Temperatures: More frequent and intense heatwaves.
- Melting Ice: Glaciers and ice caps melt, contributing to sea-level rise.
- Extreme Weather: Stronger storms, floods, droughts, and changes in rainfall patterns.
- Ocean Changes: Warming and acidifying oceans impact marine life.
- Ecosystem Disruption: Threatens plant and animal species, potentially causing extinctions.
Solutions
- Transition to Renewables: Use solar, wind, and other clean energy.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduce energy consumption at home and work (e.g., turning off lights).
- Reforestation: Plant more trees to absorb CO2.
- Sustainable Practices: Adopt sustainable agriculture and reduce waste.
- Policy & Awareness: Government action and individual lifestyle changes are crucial.
