Global warming is the progressive increase in the average temperature on Earth due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat from the sun and prevent its escape into space.
This situation, primarily caused by human activity, leads to significant climate changes, such as glacier melting, rising sea levels, more extreme weather phenomena, and ecosystem disruption.
It is an urgent concern for environmental sustainability and the need to take measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change.
