Answer:
1 earth's atmosphere is like the glass in a greenhouse because sunlight streams through the atmosphere and heats the Earth. As the heat radiates up from the Earth's surface, some escapes into space. The rest of the heat is absorbed by gases in the troposphere and warms the air.
2. Carbon dioxide concentrations are rising mostly because of the fossil fuels that people are burning for energy. ... In the 1960s, the global growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide was roughly 0.6 ± 0.1 ppm per year. Over the past decade, however, the growth rate has been closer to 2.3 ppm per year.
3. Earth’s average temperature has changed as a result of the sun’s output, the tilt and position of the Earth in its orbit, and the concentration of greenhouse gases.
