TED-ED: Climate change: Earth's giant game of Tetris - Joss Fong

The video explains the carbon cycle, where carbon enters and exits the atmosphere, and its crucial role in sustaining life on Earth. It highlights how carbon dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat and affecting climate stability. The industrial revolution introduced more carbon into the atmosphere through fossil fuels, intensifying the greenhouse effect and leading to climate change. This results in rising sea levels, disrupted ecosystems, and extreme weather, emphasizing the urgent need for action.

How does the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide affect global temperatures and climate?

What are the potential consequences of climate change on natural ecosystems and human populations?
