Why are too many greenhouse gases bad for the environment?

• They cause trees to die.

• They release heat and will be the cause of the next ice age.

• They trap heat in our atmosphere causing the planet to warm up.

• They are fossil fuels which pollute our environment.

Why does cutting down trees increase Global Warming?

• Trees absorb the Sun’s energy without radiating back into the atmosphere.

• Trees drain Greenhouse gases like methane from soil.

• Trees provide shade which counteracts Global Warming.

• Trees soak up Carbon dioxide.

How is the greenhouse effect produced?

• When solar energy trespasses the atmosphere.

• When some energy is reflected back and gets trapped in the atmosphere

• When the green house is burned.

• When the sun doesn't emit radiation.
