Question
Chapter 29.4, Problem 3CYL
Summary Introduction
To describe:
Few of the evidence that earth is warming and the impacts of climate change on Earth’s ecosystem.
Introduction:
The release of greenhouse gases by human activities increases the greenhouse effect. For, Earth’s atmosphere to remain constant, the total amount of energy entering and leaving Earth’s atmosphere must be equal. When atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases increase, more heat is retained into space, causing Earth to warm.
