global warming and greenhouse gases
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature, primarily caused by human activities releasing excessive amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat from the sun, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, leading to the warming of the planet and disruption of Earth's climate system.
