temperatuurgroei
Temperatuurgroei, often referred to as temperature increase or warming, describes the sustained rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. This phenomenon is primarily driven by an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat that would otherwise radiate back into space. The most significant greenhouse gas contributing to this warming is carbon dioxide, largely emitted from the burning of fossil fuels for energy, transportation, and industry. Other contributing factors include methane and nitrous oxide, often released from agricultural activities and industrial processes.
The observed temperatuurgroei has significant implications for the planet. These include melting glaciers and ice sheets,
