What is Global Warming and climate change anyway…it is the continuous rise in temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans. Global warming is caused by the increased amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that is caused by humans thru deforestation and by the burning of fossil fuels.
The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat. These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping. The sunlight shines on the Earth's surface, where it is absorbed and then radiates back into the atmosphere as heat. In the atmosphere, “greenhouse” gases trap some of this heat, and the rest escapes into space.
The more greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere, the more heat gets trapped.Humans have increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere so fast that historically it took thousands of year to reach those levels, but are now happening over the course of decades
Global warming myth or fact… Some say Global warming isn’t real while those in the scientific community have accepted certain facts about Global warming. The facts/findings are recognized by the national science academies of all the major industrialized countries.
Effects of Global warming:Glacier Melting
rising sea levels
changes in climate rhythm for example more frequent and severe storms and droughts
