One of the most immediate and obvious effects of global warming is the increase in temperatures around the world. The average global temperature has increased by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the past 100 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Global warming changes climate. Human activity â mainly burning fossil fuels and chopping down forests â has caused temperatures to rise worldwide. Thatâs global warming. The warmer atmosphere triggers climate change, or shifts in normal climate patterns. Such deviations can result in more severe weather.
