GLOBAL CLIMATE
Abstract
This article explores the concept of global climate, its natural mechanisms, and the anthropogenic factors driving current climate change. It outlines the major causes such as fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, and industrial emissions, and examines the wide-ranging effects of global warming on ecosystems, human health, sea levels, and extreme weather events. Furthermore, the article discusses global mitigation and adaptation strategies, including renewable energy transition, international agreements like the Paris Accord, and public education. The study emphasizes the urgency of global cooperation to stabilize climate systems and ensure a sustainable future.
