Climate changes CO 2 and the greenhouse effect

Climate changes CO 2 and the greenhouse effect. What happens and what can we do?

What is the greenhouse effect • The earth constantly receives energy from the sun in an averaged of 342 W/m 2 all over the world. Some of the solar radiation (about 30%) is casted back to space from clouds. The atmosphere and the earth's surface absorb 20% and the rest - approx. 50% - is absorbed by soil and oceans, which then heat up.

What increases the greenhouse effect ? CO 2 helps to increase the greenhouse effect.

What helps to increase the greenhouse effect. • Exhaustion from cars. Plane engines. The exhaustion of buses. Cows fart

What happens to the CO 2? We release too much CO 2. We cut down the rainforest the trees exchange the CO 2 into oxygen.
