TITLE OF THE ARTICLE : How global warming is disrupting life on Earth

LINK: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/global-warming-effects

The National Geographic article, "Global Warming Effects," explores the causes and consequences of our
planet's rising temperatures. The Earth's atmosphere is naturally warmed by greenhouse gases, but human
activities have amplified this effect. The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping
gases, disrupting weather patterns and causing a cascade of environmental issues.

The effects of global warming are already being felt around the world. Rising sea levels threaten coastal
communities, while extreme weather events like heat waves, droughts, and floods become more common.
These changes have a profound impact on ecosystems, displacing wildlife and disrupting delicate natural
balances. The article underscores the urgency of addressing climate change to mitigate its devastating effects.
