How are greenhouse gases affecting the planet?

Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide have a warming effect on the planet by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. The increased concentration of these gases, largely caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, is leading to global warming and climate change. This is causing sea levels to rise, glaciers to melt, and weather patterns to become more intense and unpredictable, impacting human societies and ecosystems. The continued increase in greenhouse gas emissions will have serious consequences for the Earth's climate and its inhabitants if not addressed urgently.
