global warming impacts

Global warming refers to the Earth's increasing average temperature caused mainly by human activities that release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. This warming leads to more extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts, melting glaciers and rising sea levels, which threaten coastal communities. It also disrupts ecosystems, affecting plant and animal life, and can negatively impact agriculture and water supplies. The overall effect reduces climate stability, risking health, homes, and livelihoods worldwide. Addressing global warming involves reducing emissions, transitioning to cleaner energy sources, and protecting natural carbon sinks.
