Global warming has been affecting the Earth since the late 19th century, primarily driven by the Industrial Revolution, which marked a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. The most notable rise in global temperatures has occurred since the mid-20th century, with a pronounced acceleration in warming observed since the 1970s. Scientific consensus attributes much of this warming to human-induced factors, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
