With the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases, significant changes in the Earth’s climate balance are occurring, leading to various environmental and economic issues. Effects such as the intensification of heat trapped during the passage of solar radiation through the atmosphere, rising sea levels, and increased frequency of extreme weather events are among the direct consequences of global warming. In this article, we will delve into the causes, effects, and possible solutions of global warming. Initially, we will briefly explore the fundamental concepts of global warming and the role of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Subsequently, we will examine how human activities and industrialization affect the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Additionally, we will focus on the effects of global warming, evaluating its potential consequences on natural systems and human life. Finally, we will provide some recommendations for environmental policies and measures that could be taken to combat global warming. This article aims to serve as a starting point for understanding the complex and multifaceted nature of global warming. In the following sections, we will delve deeper into the topic to gain a better understanding of the complexity and severity of global warming. In conclusion, global warming is a complex problem with a multifaceted solution. Even though the challenges are great, if we act determinedly and collectively, we can achieve solutions. An approach that makes sustainability transparent and takes a long-term perspective can lead to a healthier planet and a safe life for future generations.}, number={2}, publisher={Kafkas Üniversitesi}
