Global warming refers to the rising average global temperature, primarily driven by human-induced air pollution. As we generate energy, harmful emissions contaminate the Earth’s atmosphere, trapping heat through the greenhouse effect. This leads to severe consequences such as rising sea levels, increasing temperatures, and extreme weather patterns. It is a pressing global challenge, with greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation being the main contributors to this phenomenon.
Despite the significant threats posed by global warming, many individuals remain unaware of its urgency, often dismissing it as a distant issue. However, the reality is that we are already witnessing its effects, which endanger ecosystems and disrupt the delicate balance of nature.
This book serves as a comprehensive overview of global warming, examining human impacts and proposing potential solutions. It delves into the complex and contentious topic of climate change, arguably the key environmental challenge of the 21st century. By integrating research findings, economic implications, and policy solutions, this book aims to clarify the scientific basis of climate change, explore its anticipated future effects, and discuss innovative technologies and international strategies necessary for mitigating its impact.
