The document discusses global warming, including its causes, effects, and projections. It defines global warming as the increase in average temperatures due to greenhouse gas emissions. The major causes are greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels and methane from agriculture. Effects discussed include rising sea levels, ecosystem disruption, and water scarcity. The document projects that global temperatures will increase between 1.4-5.8°C by 2100 and sea levels will rise by 9-88 cm, with more extreme weather. Precautions recommended include reducing emissions from vehicles, appliances, and industries.
