Global warming and climate changes can be defined as the continuous increase in the average temperature globally, and the underlying effects on the atmosphere on earth. Climate change brings about devastating events like drought, extreme heat, and serious flooding etc.
Global warming is being impacted by some agricultural and industrial practices that include the emission of greenhouse gases.
According to CNN, 2023 has been named the hottest year since 2016, at a record of 1.48 degrees Celsius warmer than in pre-industrial times. The report further mentions that scientists are concerned about the long term effect of a warming state of 1.5 degrees Celsius that could lead to hotter summertime, and affect the survivability rate in some regions.
Events like El Nino have been identified as sources that contributed to the bad weather conditions in 2023.
