Global warming.
The term for an abnormally rapid rise in Earth's average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is global warming.
Venus has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures, with an average surface temperature of about 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme greenhouse effect is due to the trapping of heat by the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
An rapid rise in Earth's average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is known as global warming. This excess carbon dioxide comes from human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which trap heat in the atmosphere and lead to an increase in temperatures worldwide.
That means that due to the presence of an atmosphere, and specific gases in the atmosphere, the average temperature on the planet is higher than it would have without an atmosphere - or without specific gases. Greenhouse gases, that increase the average temperature, include carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).
The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the higher the temperature.
It will rise. The temperature of the atmosphere is rising already because carbon dioxide is increasing due to human activity.
It will rise. The temperature of the atmosphere is rising already because carbon dioxide is increasing due to human activity.
Global warming is the predicted increase in Earth's average temperature caused by human activities emitting greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
This increase in Earth's average temperature is called global warming. It is caused by the buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which trap heat and lead to a gradual rise in global temperatures.
Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat, leading to a greenhouse effect that raises the Earth's average temperature rapidly. This phenomenon, known as global warming, is primarily driven by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation that release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than natural processes can absorb. The resulting temperature rise can have severe consequences for ecosystems, weather patterns, sea levels, and human societies.

Sulfur dioxide tends to decrease the temperature of the atmosphere by reflecting sunlight back into space and leading to the formation of cooling sulfate aerosols. This can have a temporary cooling effect on the climate.
