Global warming refers to the long-term rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases.
The main cause of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
As glaciers and ice caps melt, sea levels rise, threatening coastal communities and ecosystems.
Individuals can help by reducing energy consumption, supporting sustainable practices, and advocating for policies that address climate change.
