• the increase of Earth's temperature due to heat

  energy being trapped by certain atmospheric

• All areas of the Earth are not getting warmer every year.

• It isn't Carbon Dioxide that is causing the temperature increase.

• It isn't the greenhouse gases that are causing the heat to be trapped.

Climate change is defined as a change in the average temperature over a period of at least

• 300 years

• 300,000 years
