Fuels and Climate

What is the greenhouse effect?

The atmosphere has the ability to trap the suns heat in it and keep the Earth warm is called the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect, of course, works like a greenhouse. The base of this effect is a good thing, however, the heat of the Earth is increasing due to the rising amount of unnatural gases entering the atmosphere. These are gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. The rising amount of gases traps more heat in the Earth and is causing the Earth to heat up. Although, without this effect, we would be dead. Without an atmosphere, our Earth would be as cold as -18 degrees Celcius during the day, and as cold as -160 degrees Celcius during the night. This effects even traps heat during winter seasons.

The process of the greenhouse effects includes the first solar radiation passing through the atmosphere. Some of this is then reflected by the atmosphere and the Earth's surface while a large amount still passes through. The solar radiation that reaches through the atmosphere is then absorbed by the surface and warms the Earth, the surface then radiates heat as infrared radiation. Some of the greenhouse gases are then reflected back onto the Earth due to the greenhouse gases, this increases the heat even more.

Effects of global warming?

The effects of global warming have become overwhelmingly more noticeable over time. Glaciers have largely shrunk, the ice in rivers and lakes is melting and rising heat. This seems a small change, however, there are larger and much more important future events that global warming will cause. Global warming will soon cause longer and more intense droughts, heavier and larger amounts of winter rainfall, more frequent wildfires, tropical bugs will soon be able to spread diseases to other countries as the climate becomes suitable to them, weather patterns will become more extreme and erratic and will largely cause more violent tropical storms and similar violent weather occurrences, and the melting of ice will cause a rising sea-level. So to all the idiots who think global warming doesn't exist, I hope your country rises in heat the most and causes you to catch a disease that is incurable.
