Global Warming

Global warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of energy radiated from the Earth’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to become warmer. Each time we burn gasoline, oil, coal, or even natural gas, more carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is causing the temperature on the Earth to rise, and creating many problems that will begin to take place in the coming decades.

Today, however, major changes are taking place. People are conducting an unplanned global experiment by changing the face of the entire planet. We are destroying the ozone layer, which allows life to exist on the Earth’s surface.

Solar energy (energy from the sun) is vital to the existence of planet Earth. It passes through the atmosphere to Earth's surface. This is not a problem, provided that Earth sends some of this solar energy back into space. This process is called radiation. However, in recent years, partly because of pollution, Earth has not radiated enough of the solar energy back into space. Some of the solar energy reflects back onto Earth's surface, making Earth warmer than it should be. This process is called the greenhouse effect, and the result is global warming - planet Earth is now hotter than it should be.
