Damage to the environment .

Explanation:

Global warming is an increase in the temperature of the near-surface atmosphere and oceans. Significant warming has been observed in recent decades, and global warming is expected to continue in the future.

According to the current scientific worldview, this phenomenon is "very likely" due to the intensification of the natural greenhouse effect as a result of human activities. Man-made global warming is caused by the burning of fossil fuels, global deforestation and agriculture and grazing. These activities accumulate carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere, reflecting less heat radiation from the earth back to space.

The consequences of such global warming are increased melting of glaciers, rising sea levels in the world, changes in established patterns of precipitation, more frequent weather disasters, and so on.
