Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature due to human activities, primarily the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases responsible for global warming include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. These gases trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
