Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, increasing temperatures over time. As the planet warms, effects include rising sea levels from melting polar ice caps, more frequent and intense droughts and hurricanes, and the spread of diseases to new regions. Evidence of global warming can be seen in longer droughts in Africa, shrinking glaciers and lakes, and rising ocean temperatures contributing to stronger hurricanes. Combating global warming requires mitigation efforts like conserving energy, using renewable alternatives, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion and other human activities.
5. The Sun’s energy passes through the car’s windshield. This energy (heat) is trapped inside the car and cannot pass back through the windshield, causing the inside of the car to warm up. Greenhouse Effect
