- As co2 takes up all this infrared energy it shakes and sends the energy in all directions. Some of the energy goes in to space but about half of it goes to earth but as heat leading to the greenhouse effect. Some examples of natural co2 generation is through volcanic eruptions, animal and plant respiration, forest fires, and decomposition of natural remains.
- Humans have contributed the most to carbon emissions. 85% of this is due to the burning of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gasoline. Humans have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in earth's atmosphere heating up the planet some examples being:fossil fuels, cutting down forest and farming livestock.
- carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas which means its like the glass in a greenhouse it traps the heat and warms up the inside, when the carbon dioxide concentration goes up, when the temperature goes up when the carbon dioxide concentration goes down the temperature goes down.
- A greenhouse gas is a gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect which is when a gas absorbs infrared radiation and emits it in all directions some goes to space while the rest goes to the earth as heat an example of this is: carbon dioxide.
- Like a greenhouse where the glass traps the heat, however, re-emits it towards the inside of the greenhouse this also applies to earth where gases in the earth's atmosphere traps the sun's warmth these gases are the greenhouse gases. At night this cools releasing the heat into the air but some of the heat is still trapped in the atmosphere due to the greenhouse gases.
- Certain effects of climate change that you really should be concerned about are: hotter temperatures, more severe storms, increased droughts, rising sea levels, higher ocean temperatures, an increase in heavy precipitation, shrinking glaciers, thawing permafrost, more blackouts, more allergies and other health risks, flooding and insect outbreaks.
