The term "warmer world" refers to a hypothetical scenario in which global temperatures continue to rise due to human-caused climate change. This would result in an increase in average temperature across the planet, leading to various environmental and societal impacts such as melting ice caps, rising sea levels, more frequent extreme weather events, disruptions to agriculture and ecosystems, and increased health risks for humans. The term "warmer world" is often used by scientists, policymakers, and the media to describe a potential future if current trends in greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked.
