· Global Warming is caused by high concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially from the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere.
· As a result, of the more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, heat energy is bouncing back onto the earth due to the reflective nature of the earth’s atmosphere.
· Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. For example, cars emit carbon dioxide.
Vocabulary:
- Fossil Fuels
- Core Tempature
- Greenhouse Gases
