Global Warming

Definition of Global Warming as it relates to Environment, Endangered Species

Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. This phenomenon has significant consequences for the environment, including rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and more frequent extreme weather events. Additionally, global warming poses a major threat to endangered species, as changing habitats can disrupt ecosystems and make it difficult for these animals to survive. Efforts to combat global warming often involve reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices.
