This paper provides a critical review of selected literature on global warming and climate change with the focus of understanding the concept of global warming, its causes, impacts, and possible mitigation approaches. From the four selected literal works, three Internet articles and one book publication, the central hypothesis is that global warming is a direct result of increased greenhouse gases that are higher now than they have been in the last 800,000 years. This process has also caused climate change, which encompasses extreme weather events and a host of other catastrophic weather-related issues that are plaguing the environment. The articles and book publication create awareness about the rising temperatures as a global challenge that needs to be addressed before its impacts get out of control.

This process has also caused climate change, which encompasses extreme weather events and a host of other catastrophic weather-related issues that are plaguing the environment. The articles and book publication create awareness about the rising temperatures as a global challenge that needs to be addressed before its impacts get out of control. Background The literature surrounding global warming has identified extreme temperature changes as a direct consequence of global warming. The UN warns that the last three years have been the warmest recorded to date and the rate of global warming observed during this period is "exceptional." "It has already been confirmed that the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, which are clearly part of the trend of long-term warming caused by the increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, are the three warmest years so far recorded", announced the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a specialized agency of the UN. According to the WMO, the average temperatures on the land surface in 2017 exceeded by 1.1 degrees those of pre-industrial times, approaching the ceiling of 1.5 degrees established as the most ambitious limit for global warming by almost 200 countries in the Paris Agreement. The WMO general secretary revealed that 17 of the 18 warmest years belong to the 21st century, and the rate of warming observed in the last three years is exceptional, the latter being particularly marked in the Arctic. The continued temperature rise will have lasting and far-reaching repercussions on the level of the ground and the meteorological regimes in the other regions of the world. However, the current warming trend causes concern given the evidence that exists and that support the theory that we are approaching a possible climate change that may be disastrous for humanity. We have no choice but to make the necessary efforts that are within our reach because global warming is a reality and it is little or much anthropogenic impact on the trend towards possible climate change, we have to do our part.
