Global warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to the effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels or from deforestation, which trap heat that would otherwise escape Earth. This is a type of greenhouse effect which can cause a rise in the sea levels due to thermal expansion and melting of glaciers and ice caps, and warming of the ocean surface, leading to increased temperature stratification. Thus, primarily, global warming could be a threat to snow leopards in polar regions due to the melting of glaciers caused by global warming.
