Show transcript
Carbon dioxide and methane are common greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases reduce the amount of lower-energy IR that can escape from Earth’s atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases do not reduce the amount of higher-energy IR radiation entering the atmosphere from the Sun.
If the rate energy is transferred into the atmosphere exceeds the rate it is transferred out, average temperatures rise.
An increasing average temperature of Earth’s atmosphere is called global warming.
