Global Warming
Global warming is the long-term rise in Earth’s average temperature, mainly caused by human activities.
🔥 Main Causes
- Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) → releases carbon dioxide (CO₂)
- Deforestation → fewer trees to absorb CO₂
- Industries & vehicles → greenhouse gas emissions
- Agriculture → methane from livestock
These gases trap heat in the atmosphere (called the greenhouse effect).
