... 's surface. As global warming increases, we can expect major changes in climate, water level, agricultural areas, and greenhouse gases. Since the late 1800's, the average temperature has increased about 0.5 to 1.5 Fahrenheit degrees. Scientist disagrees about the causes and potential impact of this warming trend. Global warming affects many aspects of the environment, including sea levels, coastlines, agriculture, forestry, and wildlife. Continued ... global warming, scientists must consider the rate of climate change. Many experts estimate that due to human activities the average surfac...

... of warm-air blanket that surrounds the planet. In fact, without it, scientists estimate that the average temperature on Earth would be colder by approximately 30 degrees Celsius (54 degrees Fahrenheit), far too cold to sustain our current ecosystem. Now, part of this scientific community believes that the global climate is warming because of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, including ... ...

It is also said that without the greenhouse effect, the entire plant would be much colder, by about 63 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius), than it presently is. In summary, scientists think rising levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere are contributing to global warming ... ...
