The term Global Warming was first used in 1975 by Wallace Broecker scientists.
Since 1880, the average temperature of the earth's surface has increased by around 1 degrees Celsius.
This average increase in temperature is caused by greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.
In 1992, world leaders gathered at the UN conference on the environment and development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and approved the framework convention on climate change.
The Kyoto Protocol, signed in 1997, is an international agreement aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2015, 195 countries approved the Paris Agreement, which set global targets to limit the increase in global average temperature to be below 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level.
Climate change has an impact on the environment, including increasing extreme weather intensity such as storms and forest fires.
Disbursement of ice in the north pole and south pole has increased rapidly in recent decades.
Increased sea temperature has caused coral bleaching and decreased fish population.
Diseases such as malaria and dengue fever have spread to areas that were once protected due to climate change.
