Global warming is one of the most critical challenges facing humanity in the 21st century
It refers to the gradual increase in the Earth’s average temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Among these gases, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the most abundant and harmful, mainly emitted by the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial activity, and agriculture. As CO₂ concentrations rise, the planet experiences numerous negative effects: more frequent and intense heatwaves, shifts in climate patterns, polar ice melting, sea level rise, and severe disruption of ecosystems.
Although emission reduction remains a priority, another key strategy to combat global warming is carbon capture and storage, also known as CO₂ sequestration. Forestry projects such as afforestation, reforestation, and the cultivation of fast-growing trees like Paulownia have become powerful tools for naturally and sustainably capturing carbon.
The Role of CO₂ in Global Warmingame
Carbon dioxide is a natural gas that helps regulate the Earth’s temperature through the greenhouse effect. However, since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have drastically increased its atmospheric concentration from about 280 parts per million in the 18th century to over 420 today. This rise has led to greater heat retention in the atmosphere, intensifying climate challenges worldwide.
The consequences of global warming are broad and interconnected. Glaciers and polar ice caps are melting rapidly, contributing to rising sea levels and threatening coastal communities. Droughts and floods are becoming more frequent and severe, affecting food production and water supply. Biodiversity is also at risk, with many species struggling to adapt to rapid climate change.
