Global Warming

Definition of Global Warming as it relates to Environment, Conservation

Global Warming: A significant increase in the Earth's atmospheric temperature, primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which result in an excess of greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. This phenomenon has severe consequences for the environment, including melting polar ice caps, rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. Conservation efforts aim to reduce these impacts by promoting sustainable practices, reducing emissions, and protecting natural habitats.
