Climate Change and the Science of Earth’s Future

2

The Earth is undergoing rapid changes due to human activity. Rising global temperatures, melting glaciers, and extreme weather events all point to one undeniable reality: climate change is reshaping our planet. Scientists are working tirelessly to understand these changes and predict their consequences for the future.

At the heart of climate change is the greenhouse effect. Gases such as carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise. While this effect is natural and essential for life, human industrial activity has dramatically increased greenhouse gas levels, leading to global warming.
