Global Warming: Causes, Effects, and Solutions Introduction Global warming is one of the most critical challenges facing humanity today. It refers to the long-term rise in Earth’s average surface temperature due primarily to human activities, especially since the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century. According to the latest assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the global average surface temperature during 2011–2020 was about 1.1°C higher than the pre-industrial baseline (1850–1900). In more recent updates, scientists have confirmed that some individual years have already temporarily crossed the 1.5°C threshold, signaling how rapidly the climate is changing. Although a 1°C rise may seem small, even slight increases in global average temperature significantly disrupt climate systems, ecosystems, and human societies worldwide. Causes of Global Warming While natural factors such as volcanic activity and solar variations influence climate ove...
