Combustion is the process by which carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere through burning of fossil fuels.

Wind power harnesses the power of wind to generate electricity, making it a renewable energy source.

Geothermal power harnesses the Earth’s internal heat to generate electricity, making it a renewable energy source.

Melting permafrost can release large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, contributing to further warming.

Decreased biodiversity is not a direct consequence of global warming, but it can be an indirect effect if ecosystems are disrupted by changes in temperature and precipitation patterns.
