Advertisements
Solution
An increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases leads to global warming. Examples of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. These gases capture the earth’s reflection of solar light. Maintaining the earth’s temperature is essential to human life. Conversely, an excessive increase in earth’s temperature driven by rising greenhouse gas concentrations may lead to global warming. The usage of fossil fuels, industrialization, and deforestation causes global warming.
