TEMPERATURE INCREASE

The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide accumulate in Earth's atmosphere, trapping heat from the sun and causing global temperatures to rise.

This temperature increase leads to climate change, affecting weather patterns, sea levels, and ecosystems worldwide. Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes are the primary contributors to increased greenhouse gas concentrations.

The consequences of rising temperatures include more frequent and severe heatwaves, changes in precipitation patterns, melting of polar ice caps and glaciers, and disruptions to agricultural systems and natural habitats.
