    Global Warming Science

    Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor in the atmosphere absorb and re-radiate some of the long-wavelength thermal radiation emitted by the Earth, which warms the planet and allows it to support life. However, increasing human activities such as burning fossil fuels are raising greenhouse gas levels and global temperatures over time, which could lead to problems like rising sea levels from melting ice caps and more severe weather that damages infrastructure and disrupts agriculture. While uncertainties remain, many scientists agree that human-caused climate change poses risks if left unaddressed.

    This graph is showing that human activities are causing global warming, because over the years the human population
    has gone up. As the human population is going up, CO2 levels are also going up, and the global temperatures are also
    following the same trend as human population and CO2 levels.
