CAGW

CAGW, or "Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming," refers to the idea that human activities—mainly burning fossil fuels and deforestation—are causing rapid and severe increases in Earth's average temperature. This warming could lead to dangerous climate changes, such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, and threats to ecosystems and human societies. The term emphasizes the potential seriousness and the human role in driving these changes, highlighting concerns that if not addressed, the impacts could be disastrous for both the planet and future generations.
