INTRODUCTION

The term "global warming" refers to the steady rise in Earth's surface temperature over the last century or two, caused by general human activity, deforestation, automobile usage, and excessive use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in a subtle way. Deforestation causes wood to become fairly less dense, while vehicle emissions raise the temperature by releasing pollutants and carbon dioxide.

Harmful causes of global warming

1. Through the combustion of “fossil fuels”, among other human activities, “greenhouse gases” like “carbon dioxide” are expelled into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming, rising sea levels, harsh weather, changes to ecosystems, and threats to biodiversity.
2. Sea levels are definitely rising as a result of melting glaciers and ice caps, as well as higher heat waves, storms, and droughts that endanger water supplies and agriculture in a major way.
3. Numerous natural variables can be responsible for the unpredictability and variations in the climate.
4. Variations in solar radiation can affect the climate, although solar cycles are not the only cause of these changes.
5. Large volumes of gases are released into the atmosphere by volcanic activity, although these emissions have a negligible effect on pretty long-term climate change when compared to greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity.
6. Although they can, for all intents and purposes, have a short-term impact on global weather patterns and temperatures, natural climatic phenomena like El Niño and La Niña in the Pacific Ocean are literally not to blame for the century-long warming that has been witnessed.
7. Long-term orbital oscillations can definitely affect the distribution of solar energy and fuel ice age cycles, but these variations happen on geological timeframes and are unrelated to the current fast warming.
8. Fossil fuel combustion, encompassing the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas, is definitely the main contributor to industrial greenhouse gas emissions, basically contrary to popular belief.
9. Transportation, industry, and the production of power all contribute to the atmospheric discharge of these pollutants.
10. For the most part, the ability of trees to absorb and store carbon dioxide is diminished by deforestation, which releases stored carbon into the atmosphere in a major way.
11. Greenhouse gases are by-products of industrial activities such as cement, which is actually manufactured in a big way for all intents and purposes.
12. Methane released by livestock production, especially cow rearing, contributes to global warming in a major way.
13. Agriculture methods, urbanization, and changes in land use all have an impact on the balance of greenhouse gases in a big way.

CONCLUSION

A multifaceted strategy for all intents and purposes is required to combat global warming, that includes opting over to “renewable energy” sources, that increases “energy efficiency” in “buildings”, “vehicles”, and “industries”, promoting sustainable land management, putting  international agreements into action, promoting responsible consumption, and spreading awareness of the issue. In order to save the environment and future generations, there must definitely be a worldwide commitment to these actions.
