Understanding the Greenhouse Effect and Human Impact on Climate Change

The video explains the greenhouse effect, where greenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, warming the Earth's atmosphere. This process is crucial for maintaining temperatures that support life. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and intensive farming, have increased CO2 and methane levels, leading to a rise in atmospheric temperatures. Scientific consensus suggests these changes are linked to human actions, potentially causing adverse climate effects like extreme weather and rising sea levels.
