    caused by the gases carbon dioxide, methane, dinitrogen and chlorofluorocarbons. For contrast, oxygen and nitrogen are gases that will not trap heat and are therefore not greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. You see, the sun provides energy in the form of solar radiation; some of the radiation is reflected back into space, what is not is then absorbed by the clouds, the Earth’s surface and the atmospheric gases. As the atmospheric carbon dioxide level increases…

    deforestation is the same as the loss of thirty-six football fields every minute. One and a half acres of forest is cut down every second. Although it allows for people to generate more revenue, deforestation should be banned because it creates more carbon dioxide in the air, promotes the development of drought, contributes to the extinction of wildlife and is a limited resource. Deforestation is when forested land is destroyed and made into non-forested land used for waste space or urban use…

    climate change isn’t occurring. In order to make this assumption you need to look at all the evidence that supports climate change and the evidence that does not. There are many long-term effects that are going to occur due to climate change. If the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas levels continue to increase in concentration at the rate they are at the moment, it is going to continue to cause an increase in temperature which is also going to lead to an increase in ocean temperatures…

    The primary cause of climate change is the increased emission of greenhouse gasses by human processes. The most significant greenhouse gasses include carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor and nitrous oxide. In order to understand the effect greenhouse gasses have on the earth, one must comprehend how energy enters and exits the atmosphere. The sun constantly emits short wave radiation. This radiation can be…

    Climate change's equally evil twin is the name for ocean acidification its harmful because of the excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Since we don't see or feel it because the effects are happening underwater. CO2 is released by burning coal,oil and gas but its doesnt stay in the air but it dissolves into the oceans. The oceans have absorbed 525 billion of CO2 from the atmosphere and they collect about 22 tons per day. Scientist thought it was it good thing because it wasn't…
