Green house gasses release during the combustion of fossil fuels - true

Fossil fuels are: coal and petroleum. When they are combusted they produce around 21.3 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year, but it is estimated that natural processes can only absorb about half of that amount,    CO2 causes radiative forcing and thanks to CO2 the average surface temperature of the Earth rises. This phenomena of temperaturę rising causes hurricanes, tornadoes and tsunami and, of course, the level of the sees and oceans is also rising because glaciers are melting.

The earth is closer to the sun during summer in the northern hemisphere than it is during winter.

The Earth is closer to the sun during summer in the Northern Hemisphere than it is during winter. True or False?

True. The Earth is closer to the sun because during the summer, the sun rays are directly hitting towards the Northern Hemisphere which makes it hot. During the winter, the sun rays are not directly hitting, thus, its cooler in winter than in the summer.

Hope I helped :D
