GreenHouse Gases (GHSs)
In the atmosphere, GHSs behave like blankets; therefore, the global average temperature increases due to the absorption of terrestrial radiation. The phenomenon of a gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere is called "Global warming". This increase is primarily a result of human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, which trap sunlight and solar radiation, leading to climate change over the past 100 to 200 years. Temperature is one of the quantities in determining climate; so the climate on a global scale is changing. Global climate change refers to long-term alterations in average weather patterns across the Earth, particularly characterized by an ongoing increase in global average temperatures, which can result in significant variations in climate conditions such as becoming warmer, wetter, or drier over decades or longer. It encompasses the broader impacts of these temperature increases on Earth's climate system.
Because we live on earth; we cannot distinguish the global climate change, like A frog that is gradually heated in a pot of water will not jump out and will ultimately die as the water reaches a boiling point. This phenomenon is often used as a metaphor for failing to react to dangerous situations that develop slowly over time. We are only feeling the impacts of global climate change. Indeed, the effects of human-caused global warming are becoming increasingly evident in our daily lives, manifesting through more frequent and extreme weather events such as storms, heatwaves, and droughts. While these effects are palpable, the collective response to mitigate further climate change remains crucial. It is essential to stay informed and proactive in addressing this challenge.
