An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called .?
Global warming
What gas in the atmosphere will bring about a warming of the lower atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbs heat rising from the surface of the earth.
What unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near Earths surface is called?
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface is called global warming
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near earths surface is called what?
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface is called global warming
Is there any evidence that global warming is responsible for melting the worlds glaciers?
It's logical. If the earth is warming, and scientists (and our own experiences) tell us that it is, then one of the effects of a warming atmosphere is that it warms things in the atmosphere. Glaciers are exposed to the air, the air is warmer, and so the glaciers melt. Therefore, global warming is responsible for melting the world's glaciers.

What is one key result of having carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?
Warming of the surface.

What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect

What is gradual warming of Earth's surface?
The gradual warming of earths surface is called global warming.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
Is geothermal good for the earth?
NO! Taking the heat from the Earth is helping the sub surface cool at a faster rate. You might be thinking well then how is global warming happening? The atmosphere is warming up but the sub surface is cooling. We are finding more and more ways to help drive the earth to its grave.
What are Characteristics of global warming?
A rise in temperature of both the atmosphere and the surface of the earth. Global means all over the world; warming means heating up, rising in temperature.
