Climate Change
Planet temperature has risen unusually fast over the last century, about 1.2 to 1.4 F. This is in opposition to fluctuation in climate for the last 2.5 million years. The burning of fuels and coal leads to unusual temperature rises resulting in global warming. The act of burning fuels and coal leads to emissions of large amounts of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat near the earth, named the greenhouse effect. The process involves:
* The sun and energy radiation.
* Naturally occurring gas in the atmosphere traps excess energy and reflects it into them.
* Making it warmer.
The greenhouse effect has inten...
