Global warming is the rise in the average temperature of Earth's climate system. Anthropogenic activities are the primary reason for this phenomenon, chief among which is the emission of harmful greenhouse gases like methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Some of the other reasons of global warming include deforestation, aerosols and soot produced by human-made pollutants, etc. Climate change can cause many problems for Earth's inhabitants. Some of these problems include the rise of sea level, melting of glaciers, tropical cyclones, changes in ecosystem and even extinction of species. Some of the mitigation strategies that can be employed are the adoption of low-carbon energy technologies, reforestation and energy conservation. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of global warming. The topics included in this book are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Scientists and students actively engaged in this field will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
