I've been hearing a lot about global warming. What are some of the effects?

Global warming is caused by an increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, in the atmosphere. This causes the Earth's average temperature to rise, which can have serious consequences for human health, wildlife, ecosystems, and infrastructure. Rising temperatures can lead to droughts, floods, heat waves, hurricanes, and other extreme weather events that can cause damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure. In addition, rising sea levels due to melting ice caps and glaciers can cause flooding, erosion, and destruction of coastal areas.
