Causes of global warming:.
Deforestation
Rapid industrialization
Population explosion
Increase in GHG concentration
Main cause: CARBON DIOXIDE

Sea-level rise
Temperatures and sea levels will continue to rise for centuries.Arctic sea ice will disappear in the next few decades Hot extremes, heat waves, and heavy rains will continue to become more frequent
