Global climate has been changing as a cycle for millions of years already; however, industrialization, vast urbanization of cities, technological progress, and other similar factors have caused a rapid increase in global temperature. Global warming is strongly related to industrialization, vehicle usage, power plants' functioning, and generally, consumption of fossil fuels. As a result of the congestion of these fuels, vast amounts of carbon dioxide and other gasses, also called greenhouse gasses, are released into the air. The greenhouse effect is what's responsible for the global temperature rise. Scientists claim that increased temperature will result in changes in sea levels. Hurricanes, droughts, storms, and floods will become more and more frequent, draughts will become harsher and more common, and many species will fail to adopt these changes, which will cause their extinction. Although we will not be able to halt global warming immediately, we can decrease the intensity and limit the amount of global warming by minimizing social emissions of heat-trapping pollutants and soot. This can be achieved by promoting renewable energy, increasing the usage of electric vehicles, and familiarizing with leg lighting and a plant-based diet.
