How is global warming related to people?

Answer 1

Global warming, the recent sudden and speedy warming of our planet, is related to people because we are causing it - by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas.

It is also related to us because we are feeling the effects of it: droughts, storms, flooding, famines, heat waves and the related deaths from these.

Answer 2

Global warming is predominantly caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and lead to a rise in Earth's average temperature, resulting in various impacts like extreme weather events, sea level rise, and biodiversity loss, all of which affect people's health, livelihoods, and overall well-being. Addressing global warming requires collective action to reduce emissions and transition to a more sustainable way of living.
