What is global warming?
Abstract ‘What is global warming?’ explains what greenhouse gases are and how they act to keep the Earth warm. Measurements of greenhouse gases in ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland have allowed scientists to link high levels of carbon dioxide and methane gases in the atmosphere to global warmi...
