Detailed explanation-1: -The enhanced greenhouse effect 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: -Greenhouse gases have far-ranging environmental and health effects. They cause climate change by trapping heat, and they also contribute to respiratory disease from smog and air pollution. Extreme weather, food supply disruptions, and increased wildfires are other effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gases.
Detailed explanation-3: -More severe heat waves, floods, and droughts are expected in a warmer climate. These may reduce crop yields. Sea level rise could erode and inundate coastal ecosystems and eliminate wetlands.
Detailed explanation-4: -But the new research shows that even if all emissions were stopped now, temperatures would remain higher than pre-Industrial Revolution levels because the greenhouse gases already emitted are likely to persist in the atmosphere for thousands of years.
