Greenhouse Effect and CO2 Emissions

The video explains the greenhouse effect, a natural phenomenon essential for life on Earth. It describes how the Earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, maintaining the planet's temperature. The video highlights the increase in greenhouse gases, particularly CO2, due to industrialization and fossil fuel use, leading to global warming. It discusses the consequences of climate change, such as water scarcity and rising sea levels, and emphasizes the need for urgent action. Solutions like recycling, renewable energy, and reducing plastic use are suggested. The video concludes with a call to action to care for the planet and learn more about climate change.
