... of global warming while, at the same time, strengthening the economy. Global warming is caused by the Green House Effect. The Green House Effect is a natural part of the earth's atmosphere. Green house gasses are naturally occurring in the atmosphere. The gasses act as a green house on an extremely large scale. The gasses allow energy from the sun to pass through the atmosphere unimpeded ... then attempts to radiate back through the atmosphere and into space, a portion of the energy is contained by the green house gasses.

The temperatures are expected to rise by between 1.4 and 5.8 degrees Celsius which would require that green house gas emissions to be kept at a minimum (Babiker, Mustapha, Jacoby, Henry, 2002, p. 43).

The physical and chemical mechanisms that bring about climate change are known and there is no dispute about how they work. Another proof that the green house effect will c...

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction What is global warming? Global warming is the common scientific belief which states that man is producing greater and greater amounts of "Green House Gasses" such as carbon dioxide and methane, which trap the suns heat inside our atmosphere, heating up the planet to dangerous levels. This largely excepted scientific belief isn't scientific at ... dioxide in the U.S. only account for fifty six percent of the United States Carbon dioxide production. The other half is unidentified. Some scientists have noted that the amount of green house gasses in the atmosphere...
