Global Warming

Global Warming is defined as an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect.

Global warming is caused by the buildup of gasses in the atmosphere which keeps the solar generated heat from escaping the Earths atmosphere. The most common gas to contribute to global warming is Co2 carbon dioxide. Other gasses that add to global warming are Methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, hydro fluorocarbons, per fluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride. The previous three are produced mainly by human industrial p rocesses.

Humans are the main contributors to global warming. The way we contribute to global warming is by adding the pollutants from the burning of fossil fuels that we use in vehicles and burn for electricity.
