Summary (AI generated)

The greenhouse effect, caused by extensive CO2 emissions, is a significant environmental challenge we are currently facing. Global atmospheric CO2 concentration has increased from 280 ppm to over 420 ppm today. This rise has resulted in severe consequences including biodiversity loss, droughts, rising sea levels, and extreme heat. To reduce CO2 levels in the atmosphere, effective carbon emission control measures are crucial.
