Our world has increase controversy over climate warming. Scientists have studied the changes in the temperature of Earth. Since the industrial revolution the emissions of greenhouse gasses have risen. This contributes to the idea of global warming because when greenhouse gasses are released the greenhouse effect is strengthened. This causes Earth to become warmer. The sun emits short wave radiation that travels through greenhouse gases without any effect. Earth absorbs the radiation and then reemits long wave radiation rather than short wave radiation back to space. When leaving earth it has to go pass the greenhouse gases to reach space. When it reaches the greenhouse gases the radiation is absorbed and reemitted back down to Earth causing an additional warming effect. Normally this would not be a problem because greenhouse gases are released naturally to form a blanket effect in order to keep Earth warm, but due to abnormal anthropogenic emissions the greenhouse effect is getting out of hand, causing global warming. Usually the greenhouse gases are sifted out through a natural cycle but because of the additional greenhouse emissions there is an accumulation that has occurred. Some say this process of global warming is wrong and that this is no proof showing any trend exists, but it is. I believe that the planet is warming, there has to be a result of releasing these gases into our atmosphere. Now we finally have facts that show it. The global average temperature is rising even if it doesn’t seem like it. There is no significance from observing 1 day or even 1 year. In order to have significant data we must look at the global change in temperature in thousands of years. If we do look throughout the past we can see that there are trends of global warming.
