Abstract
Global warming is a significant environmental issue caused mostly by increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide (CO2). The substantial release of CO2, primarily caused by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, industrial operations, and agricultural practices, plays a significant role in the Earth’s temperature increase by trapping heat in the atmosphere. This paper analyses the mechanisms by which CO2 intensifies global warming and investigates its environmental consequences, specifically focusing on climate feedback networks. Notable feedback mechanisms that contribute to global warming include water vapour, cloud, and ice-albedo feedback. These feedbacks interact with atmospheric conditions in various ways, leading to an intensification of global warming. Efficient methods to reduce the impact of a problem involve the implementation of both governmental actions and developments in technology. These can include steps like setting a price on carbon emissions, adopting renewable energy sources and implementing sustainable transportation solutions. To limit the adverse impacts of global warming, it is crucial to tackle CO2 emissions and adopt pioneering energy and environmental policies.
