global temperature rise

Global temperature rise refers to the increase in Earth's average surface temperature over time, primarily due to human activities like burning fossil fuels, which release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, creating a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. This gradual warming leads to climate changes, including more extreme weather, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture. Understanding this trend highlights the importance of reducing emissions to protect the planet's stability and future well-being.
