PRHS Global Climate Change

How are greenhouse gasses harming our environment?

• They aren't

• Less heat is able to escape causing the Earth to cool down

• Less heat is able to escape causing the Earth to warm up

• More heat is able to escape

Scientists are very interested in clouds and are able to gather data from planes, satellites and computers. Which two of these functions do clouds serve?

• The reflect sunlight as it enters our atmosphere making the Earth cooler.

• The absorb sunlight as it enters our atmosphere making the Earth cooler.

• They block or trap greenhouse gases from leaving our atmosphere making the Earth hotter

• They release greenhouse gases into space so that the atmosphere makes the Earth hotter
