Global warming refers to the slow increase in the Earth’s surface temperature, which has been happening for the last one or two hundred years. This temperature rise has disrupted the planet’s weather patterns. Although some people debate the idea of global warming, scientists have presented data supporting the fact that the Earth’s temperature is steadily going up.
Global warming has various reasons, and it harms people, plants, and animals. Some of these reasons are natural, while others are caused by human actions.
