Study Notes

Global Warming

Global warming refers to the long-term warming of the planet's overall temperature.
The warming trend has been ongoing for a long time, but its pace has significantly increased over the last hundred years.
The primary reason for this rapid increase is the burning of fossil fuels, which has intensified due to the growing human population.
As the human population grows, the volume of fossil fuels burned also increases, contributing to the accelerated pace of global warming.
