carbon- dioxide is a green house gas which when increased in the atmosphere causes global warming. it is released in the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels i.e. petrol, diesel, coal. trees use carbon dioxide and release oxygen so we should plant more trees to reduce green house gases in the atmosphere.

hope that helps....

Why are green house gases causing a problem?

Green House gases work by allowing the Sun's rays into the atmosphere, but don't let them back out. Green-house gases are gases like CO2, Methane and other traces of elements. A small amount is necessary to control the warmth of the overall planet, but if we get to much green-house gas, the planet could begin to warm, which it is. If this is due to green-house gases or not, there is much controversy to the matter.

What are some causes for climatic change?

Some causes for climate change would be mostly due to human activity. After cars and factories were made this has caused lots of pollution. many green house gases have been let out into our atmosphere. green house gases are gases that get trapped in earth's atmosphere that help maintain earth's temperature. Although if there are too much green house gases in our atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, earth's temperature will begin to rise. this process is called global warming.


What two green house gases increased ice melting in Greenland?

Carbon dioxide and methane are the two greenhouse gases that have contributed to increasing ice melting in Greenland. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures and accelerated melting of ice sheets.


If the green house gases increased what would the gobal temperature do?

It would rise, leading to sea level rise.
