Erosion of Ozone Layer and Global Warming: The Global Warming Phenomenon

The video discusses global warming, focusing on the South Cascade Glacier in Washington, which has significantly retreated over the last century. It highlights the global trend of shrinking glaciers and the scientific consensus on climate warming, despite debates on the role of carbon dioxide. Researchers use computer models to predict potential impacts of continued warming, such as flooding and ecosystem damage. The video compares CO2 emissions from natural events like the Mount Saint Helens eruption to human activities, emphasizing the larger impact of fossil fuel burning.
