What is climate change?

• The trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.

• a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, and other pollutants.

• The action of clearing a wide area of trees.

• a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change attributed largely to the increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.

What is causing the greenhouse effect to increase?

• Too little greenhouse gases are making the earth colder.

• Too much of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are making the earth colder.

• Too much of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are making the earth warmer.

• There is no such thing as a greenhouse made out of gases.
