Global warming
Human activities have led to a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), which trap heat and warm the planet. The burning of fossil fuels in factories, vehicles, and power plants, as well as industrial processes and transportation, are among the

A new University of Washington-led study shows that while the Paris Agreement has contributed to a reduction in carbon intensity, the overall effect has been insufficient to counterbalance the environmental impact of economic growth. Launched in 2015, the treaty aimed to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius by 2100.

Global warming is causing Arctic permafrost to degrade, posing significant risks to the construction of facilities and leading to increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Research conducted by the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) has found that methane emitted from thawing permafrost may be released by dissociation of intrapermafrost
