Unit 1 Global Warming What are the causes of global warming? Traffic Jam Factory The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor(水蒸汽) , carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide(一氧化二氮), and methane(甲烷), for example) trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60oF colder. Because of how they warm our world, these gases are referred to as greenhouse gases. The Greenhouse Effect The Greenhouse Effect Some greenhouse gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, while others result from human activities. Naturally occurring greenhouse gases include water vapor,carbon dioxide, methane(甲烷), nitrous oxide(一氧化二氮), and ozone(臭氧). Certain human activities, however, add to the levels of most of these naturally occurring gases . What Are Greenhouse Gases? Owing to the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by modern industrial societies‘ widespread combustion(燃烧) of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), the greenhouse effect on Earth may be intensified and long-term climatic changes may result.
