    Emission gases have caused defective ocean acidification, which “serves as a sink for this gas and absorbs about a quarter of human carbon dioxide emissions, which then goes on to react with seawater to form carbonic acid” (“What Are Greenhouse Gases?”). Along with ocean acidification, ozone pollution, unhealthy plant growth, ozone depletion also occur as a result of emission. According to Dr. Smith human actions have not caused an increase because “the sun 's intensity, earth orbital cycle and volcanoes all produce small changes in temperature that affect” the earth. Greenhouse gases have always existed and have little to due with industrial use. The overabundance of methane is a result of the unnecessary industrial industry.…
