GLOBAL WARMING AND ITS CONSEQUENCES

Abstract

In today’s rapidly evolving world,global warmig is one of the most controversial issue. Global warming is a long-term and continuous increase in the Earth’s average surface temperature, primarily driven by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, large-scale deforestation, rapid industrialization, and the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. As concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and other heat-trapping gases rise, the Earth’s natural climate balance becomes increasingly disrupted. The consequences of this warming trend are far-reaching and include rising sea levels, melting glaciers, more frequent and intense extreme weather events, widespread ecosystem degradation, threats to biodiversity, and growing socio-economic instability across both developed and developing regions.This article provides a detailed examination of the scientific causes underlying global warming, assesses its environmental and human impacts, and explores global efforts aimed at reducing emissions and promoting long-term sustainability. By understanding these processes and the interconnected nature of climate systems, researchers, policymakers, and the global community can develop more effective strategies to mitigate global warming and protect the planet for future generations.
