Climate change

The video explains how ice cores from Antarctica reveal Earth's climate history, showing natural warming and cooling cycles. It highlights the current rapid climate change, known as global warming, primarily caused by increased carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels. This greenhouse effect is leading to rising temperatures, melting polar ice, and potential mass extinctions. The video stresses the importance of reducing carbon emissions to mitigate these effects.

What is the greenhouse effect and how does it relate to climate change?

What potential impacts could arise from a 3°C rise in temperature over the next 50 years?
