The Greenhouse Effect

The video explains how greenhouse gases trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, acting like a blanket. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, increase these gases, particularly carbon dioxide and methane. This leads to a thicker atmospheric blanket, causing global temperatures to rise. Methane, largely from agriculture, is a potent greenhouse gas. Despite cleaner energy technologies, greenhouse gas levels continue to rise, accelerating climate change.
