    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.
