Global warming is an increase in Earth's temperatures caused by greenhouse gases from human pollution entering the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect occurs when gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. Global warming and the greenhouse effect are connected because they both involve an increase in these harmful gases. The G8 summit brings together leaders of eight wealthy nations to make decisions about issues like global warming.
