Global warming is a gradual increase in the Earth's average temperature that is permanently changing the climate due to human activity like burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. This causes the Earth to warm unnaturally. The effects of global warming include rising temperatures, sea level rise, more droughts and floods, loss of animal habitats, and various health issues. Solutions include planting more trees, boosting energy efficiency, developing renewables, phasing out fossil fuels, and stopping deforestation. Governments are taking steps like awareness campaigns, large tree planting initiatives, and promoting environmental villages.
