Study Notes

The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, making life on the planet possible.
However, human activities have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases, leading to an enhancement of the natural greenhouse effect, known as global warming.
Global warming is primarily caused by the increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and land-use changes.

Climate Change

Climate change refers to the long-term warming of the planet, leading to rising sea levels, more extreme weather events, and changes in precipitation patterns.
Climate change is a broader term that encompasses not only global warming but also other changes to the Earth's climate, including changes in precipitation, sea level rise, and shifts in the patterns of weather and seasons.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Country

According to Figure 3-4, China is the highest producer of greenhouse gases, likely due to its large population, rapid industrialization, and extensive use of fossil fuels for energy generation.
