Global warming refers to the long-term rise in Earth’s average surface temperature, primarily driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere due to human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and industrial processes. This warming trend, which has accelerated over the past century, is linked to a range of environmental disruptions including melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more intense heatwaves, and shifting weather patterns. Scientists around the world are actively researching its causes, consequences, and potential solutions, making global warming a central focus in climate science and policy discussions. Stay updated here with the latest findings, from climate modeling breakthroughs to mitigation strategies.
