Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. It is released into the atmosphere through human activities such as burning fossil fuels.

Industrialization, particularly the burning of fossil fuels for energy production, is the leading contributor to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

Global Warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Rising sea levels due to climate change can lead to increased coastal erosion, salinization of freshwater sources, and the displacement of coastal communities.

Carbon Sequestration refers to the process by which forests and other ecosystems absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

The Paris Agreement is an international agreement that aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels.

Ocean Acidification refers to the gradual increase in the acidity of the oceans due to the absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Solar Energy is derived from the sun's energy and is a renewable energy source.

Mitigation refers to the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit the effects of climate change.

El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) are all examples of natural climate cycles.

Adaptation refers to the process of preparing for and responding to the impacts of climate change.

Climate change can lead to increased heat-related illnesses, spread of vector-borne diseases, and respiratory problems due to air pollution.

Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) refers to the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it underground.

Hydropower is a renewable energy source that utilizes the movement of water to generate electricity.

Arctic Amplification refers to the phenomenon where the Earth's temperature increases more rapidly in the Arctic region compared to other parts of the globe.
