Global warming
Over the course of the Industrial Revolution, the global annual temperature has risen by slightly over 1 degree Celsius (approximately 2 degrees Fahrenheit). Between 1880 and 1980, a growth of 0.07 degrees Celsius (0.13 degrees Fahrenheit) occurred every decade, marking the period of accurate record-keeping inception. However, since 1981, the pace has more than doubled, with a rise of 0.18 degrees Celsius (0.32 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade in the last 40 years. Accumulated carbon dioxide and other pollutants absorb sunlight, causing global warming by trapping heat that would normally escape into space. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and others contribute to this greenhouse effect. Scientists observe that warming temperatures lead to extended and intense heat waves, more frequent droughts, increased rainfall, and intensified hurricanes. Warming temperatures are fueling longer and hotter heat waves, more frequent droughts, more rains, and more intense hurricanes, according to scientists.
