Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The essay begins by defining global warming as an increase in global temperatures caused by increased carbon dioxide levels. The primary causes are identified as carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, vehicles, and buildings. The second main cause, deforestation, contributes significantly to CO2 release. The essay then examines the effects of global warming, including climatic change, wildlife behavior, vegetation, glacier melting, temperature changes, agriculture, and the emergence of new diseases. It highlights the impact on ecosystems, human activities, and overall life on Earth.Schlüsselwörter (Keywords)
