Climate change is reshaping our world. Human activities release , trapping heat and causing . Evidence includes rising temperatures, , and more extreme weather events. Scientists overwhelmingly agree that humans are driving these changes.
Politics and economics play a huge role in climate policies. International agreements aim to limit warming, but face challenges from fossil fuel interests and differing national priorities. While progress has been made, current efforts fall short of meeting temperature goals.

traps heat in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases (GHGs) like (CO2), (CH4), and (N2O)
Anthropogenic activities release GHGs into the atmosphere
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) releases CO2
Deforestation reduces carbon sinks that absorb CO2
Agriculture and livestock contribute to CH4 and N2O emissions (rice cultivation, cattle)
Observed changes in climate provide evidence of global warming
Rising global average temperatures (1.1°C since pre-industrial times)
