Key Points: Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming
- Greenhouse gases like CO₂ and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, preventing its escape and causing the greenhouse effect.
- Increased burning of fuels and deforestation raise CO₂ levels, intensifying global warming.
- Global warming results in rising temperatures, melting polar ice, higher sea levels, and reduced agricultural and fishery yields.
