What is Global Warming?. Greenhouse gas emissions.

Effects of Global Warming. Rising Sea Levels As global temperatures rise, glaciers and ice sheets melt, causing sea levels to rise at an alarming rate. This poses a significant threat to coastal communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems, leading to increased coastal erosion, flooding, and displacement of populations. Extreme Weather Events Global warming intensifies the frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as hurricanes, typhoons, droughts, heatwaves, and heavy precipitation events. These events can cause widespread damage to property, infrastructure, agriculture, and human lives, as well as disrupt ecosystems and local economies..
