Climate Change!
"Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,
. . . (methane, carbon dioxide, etc.)
. . . let visible light pass through, absorb infrared light.
The warmer atmosphere emits more infrared light,
. . . which tends to be re-absorbed.
Since the industrial age began around 1750,
. . . atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by 40%, and
. . . methane has increased by 150%.
Such increases cause extra infrared light absorption,
. . . further heating Earth above its typical temperature range,
. . . . . . (even as energy from the sun, stays basically the same).
Energy that gets to Earth has an even harder time leaving it,
. . . causing Earth;s average temperature to increase,
. . . . . . producing global climate change.
Emissions are measurable.
. . . Temperature changes are measurable.
. . . . . . The effects are measurable.
They lead to the same conclusion.
. . . 97% of scientists agree.
. . . . . . The standouts have ties to fossil industries."
