Carbon dioxide and methane from fossil fuel use, deforestation, and industry are the main greenhouse gases responsible for current human-caused global warming.
Human-caused global warming is the long-term rise in Earth’s average temperature mainly driven by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere. These gases are released through activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. They trap heat and strengthen the natural greenhouse effect. The resulting warming contributes to rising sea levels, more frequent or intense extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems, agriculture, and coral reefs. Scientific evidence shows that recent solar variations have had only a very small effect on current warming, while greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are the dominant cause. Reducing emissions through renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, tidal, and sustainable biomass can help limit these impacts.
Carbon dioxide and methane from fossil fuel use, deforestation, and industry are the main greenhouse gases responsible for current human-caused global warming.
Global warming can cause rising sea levels, extreme weather, ecosystem disruption, agricultural impacts, and damage to coral reefs.
Scientific evidence indicates that recent changes in solar activity cannot explain current warming; human-produced greenhouse gases are the dominant cause.
Renewable energy and other sustainable energy choices can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate climate change.
The long-term increase in Earth’s average temperature, primarily caused today by human-produced greenhouse gases.
An atmospheric gas, such as carbon dioxide or methane, that absorbs and re-emits heat, contributing to warming.
A greenhouse gas released in large quantities by burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes.
A powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to warming and is released by human activities and natural processes.
The process by which atmospheric gases trap heat and warm Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere.
Energy from sources that are naturally replenished, including sunlight, wind, moving water, geothermal heat, tides, and sustainable biomass.
