back into space by the
earth in the form of
infrared waves
Most of this radiation
is absorbed by the
Earth and warms it

in the form of lightwaves
passes through the
atmosphere
Some of this outgoing
infrared radiation is
trapped by the earth’s
atmosphere and warms it

act. I want you to act as you would in a crisis. I want you to act as if the
house is on fire, because it is.” Greta Thunberg
