Why is it important to stop global warming?

Global warming refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. It is caused by Earth's climate changes in response to external forcing, including variations in its orbit around the sun, volcanic eruptions, and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations or elevated levels of greenhouse gases due to human activity mentioned as the main influence.
