temperature of Earth's atmosphere and
oceans.
The gas responsible for the most warming is
carbon dioxide, also called CO2. Other
contributors include methane released from
landfills and agriculture.
4. Information(2/2)
Warming…High concentrations of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap
more heat than the one trapped ordinarily
and this causes earth to warm up farther.
Humans are pouring carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere a lot faster than plants
and oceans can absorb it.
5. Effectsworldwide
