I don't want to sound like a kill joy but global warming is now called global climate change because there's many different causes and effects. You can't change one and expect it all to stop. I will state a few below:

Ozone layer depleation, this is caused by CFC's which are released from aerosols, of freezers and any compressed substances. The chlorine in the CFC's reduces the ozone as it binds with one of the oxygen molecules in ozone, spliting ozone into just oxygen.

Increased greenhouse effect is caused by gases such as carbon dioxide and methane being released into the atmosphere, these create a thick layer of which does not let infrared radiation out back into the Earth, later causing the atmosphere to heat up.

Sea levels are being increased for many reasons. So the first is the melting of the land ice which is caused by the increased air temprature.This air temprature also causes anomolous expansion where the water then expands.

The last part I will say about it ocean acidification, this is a little more complex as it is chemestry. Basically increased carbon dioxide causes more to be diffused into the oceans. Water reacts with this causing carbonic acid and other carbon water based molecules. This turns the water acidic.

Sorry for making people endure a long post but thank you for reading if you did :)
