Climate Change and Its Global Impacts

The video discusses global climate change, focusing on its causes, such as solar radiation and greenhouse gases, and its rapid impact on the environment and humans. It highlights international efforts like the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The video explains the greenhouse effect, detailing how gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat. It also covers the environmental and human impacts, such as rising sea levels and increased natural disasters, and emphasizes the need for global cooperation to mitigate these effects.
