The danger of global warming and climate change on the environment

Abstract

From the Industrial Revolution to the present day, global warming has caused damage and risks to mankind and living beings. Most scientists have attributed this phenomenon to pollution from human activities. The Earth is characterized by an atmosphere that surrounds it and its components are constant and the accumulation of toxic gases raises the temperature of the atmosphere. The problem of climate change has become one of the most pressing environmental problems in the world, with increasing attention being paid by international organizations, Governments, environmental organizations, the media, research centres and citizens to the serious and devastating effects of this problem on many societies. To confront these phenomena at the global level, our topic was to take a forward-looking look at the threat to the environment posed by climate change and global warming, by highlighting some of the concepts of each of these phenomena, trying to study the factors leading to these phenomena, and to find solutions and ways to combat these phenomena through global conventions, the most important of which is the Kyoto Convention and the commitment of the major industrialized countries to them. Developing and poor countries are among those most affected by these phenomena, because their Governments do not have sufficient means to fulfil their obligations to mitigate these risks.
