As we continue on our journey through the warm climate issues of global warming i found it only right to discuss the issues of temperature changes. This particular issue is the green house effect. This is caused by humans.

"Greenhouse Gases
The increase in greenhouse gases caused by human activity is often cited as one of the major causes of global warming. These greenhouse gases reabsorb heat reflected from the Earth's surface, thus trapping the heat in our atmosphere. This natural process is essential for life on Earth because it plays an important role in regulating the Earth's temperature. However, over the last several hundred years, humans have been artificially increasing the concentration of these gases, mainly carbon dioxide and methane in the Earth's atmosphere. These gases build up and prevent additional thermal radiation from leaving the Earth, thereby trapping excess heat." (found in article).

It is a sad situation that we have put ourselves in. On one end alot of the things done to cause the green house gasses our things we do in our daily lives such as driving or using hairspray. On the other end life without these things would seem very difficult and stressful to most of us. This is what i would like to refer to as the Gift and the curse. Please review the article, and leave comments please thank you.
