hmérsékletemelkedésnek

Hmérsékletemelkedésnek is a Hungarian term that translates to "global warming" or "climate warming" in English. It refers to the long-term heating of Earth's climate system observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere. The term encompasses the observed increase in average global temperatures and the associated changes in weather patterns and climate.

The scientific consensus is that the Earth's climate system is unequivocally warming. This warming is evident in the atmosphere, the oceans, the cryosphere, and the biosphere. The consequences of hmérsékletemelkedésnek are far-reaching and include rising sea levels, more frequent and intense heatwaves, changes in precipitation patterns, ocean acidification, and impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity.

Human activities, particularly the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) for energy production, transportation, and industry, are the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. These activities release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to a gradual increase in the planet's average temperature.

Addressing hmérsékletemelkedésnek involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions through transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and adopting sustainable land-use practices. International cooperation and policy frameworks are crucial for mitigating its impacts and adapting to the changes already underway.
