Guiding Questions. • What are greenhouse gasses? • What are the effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere? • Where does most of the energy on earth originate? • What happens to the energy once it reaches earth? • What is the greenhouse effect?
There are two main ways to stop the amount of greenhouse gases from increasing: we can stop adding them to the air, and we can increase the Earth’s ability to pull them out of the air. Doing both will help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
18 wrz 2024 · Greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth’s surface and troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) caused by the presence of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and certain other gases in the air. Of those gases, known as greenhouse gases, water vapor has the largest effect.
For anyone who needs clear, detailed, well-evidenced information about global warming, this is an outstandingly useful book. ‘. . . an excellent basis for students and non-scientists to understand climate change with its manifold impacts and consequences for humankind and for our common planet.
• How do the physical and digital models of the greenhouse effect reflect what is actually happening on Earth? • Explain greenhouse gases and the basics of climate change in a way that an elementary school child could understand. • Why do scientists and policymakers focus on carbon dioxide as a key driver of climate change?
