Detailed explanation-1: -Human activity has rapidly increased the emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, in about 1750, human activities such as burning fossil fuels, including coal and oil, have increased greenhouse gas concentrations in our atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to NOAA’s 2021 Annual Climate Report the combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit ( 0.08 degrees Celsius) per decade since 1880; however, the average rate of increase since 1981 has been more than twice as fast: 0.32 °F (0.18 °C) per decade.

Detailed explanation-3: -Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Anthropocene: Strengthening the Global Response to 1.5°C Global Warming. . Since 1970 the global average temperature has been rising at a rate of 1.7°C per century, compared to a long-term decline over the past 7, 000 years at a baseline rate of 0.01°C per century (NOAA, 2016; Marcott et al., 2013).

Detailed explanation-5: -Rapid population expansion along with industrialization is also a cause of global warming due to higher levels of hazardous emissions. A higher population leads to increasing product demand, as well as increased levels of consumption and output.
