Earth gets warm due to a number of reasons. Firstly, greenhouse gases like Carbon dioxide (CO2) creates a greenhouse effect. This means that the Earth's atmosphere continually traps in heat that is given off by the Sun. Also, there has been a recent decline in global ice, which reflects some the heat given off by the sun into space. Instead, oceans are rising, which traps the heat.
