    Global warming is defined as an increase in the Earth's near-surface temperatures caused by both natural factors like solar variation as well as human activities that release greenhouse gases. Since 1900, the average global temperature has increased by 0.74 degrees Celsius. Effects of climate change include rising sea levels, and international laws like the Kyoto Protocol have aimed to reduce emissions and promote emissions trading to mitigate global warming.
