Overview

Global warming is the long-term increase in Earth's average near-surface and ocean temperatures, driven principally by the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide that enhance the natural greenhouse effect by trapping outgoing longwave radiation. It is the central component of broader anthropogenic climate change and is expressed through rising land and sea-surface temperatures, ocean heat uptake and acidification, sea-level rise, retreating ice, and shifts in precipitation and circulation patterns. Consequences include altered hydrology, more frequent temperature and rainfall extremes, ecosystem and biodiversity stress, and pressures on agriculture, water resources, and human health. Mitigation centres on reducing emissions and increasing carbon sequestration, including uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide by terrestrial and aquatic plants and the deployment of energy-efficient and renewable systems. Research in this area examines environmental and health vulnerabilities tied to climate change, declining river water levels linked to reduced rainfall, rainfall-pattern modelling under changing climate, impacts on fisheries and aquatic species, strategies for net-zero emissions, and the climate-land degradation-food security nexus. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research across the environmental, agricultural, hydrological, and energy dimensions of global warming, spanning observed impacts, adaptation, and mitigation.
