heat energy from the sun reaches the earth in the from of radiation. Some energy is reflected back towards space. When it reaches the atmosphere some rays pass through but others are trapped. these trapped rays keep the earth warmer than otherwise. this is the GREENHOUSE EFFECT.
Because the amount of cardon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased it has led to more energy being reflected back. This is GLOBAL WARMING because the Earth is getting hotter. only a few degrees Celsius rise in temperature may lead to climate change and a rise in sea levels.
