Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average surface temperature due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to changes in climate patterns. Global warming is a significant aspect of climate change and is associated with a range of environmental impacts, including rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and biodiversity. It is primarily driven by factors such as industrialization, deforestation, and the burning of fossil fuels. The consequences of global warming pose significant challenges for natural and human systems worldwide, highlighting the need for mitigation and adaptation strategies to address its effects.
Extreme temperatures have become more pronounced than ever before due to the link between global warming, also known as climate change, and its impact on our environment. The Philippines, like…
