Some scientists say it is because of global warming. global warming is caused by what is believed to be us polluting the atmosphere. When we pollute the atmosphere with smoke, and gas, and other harmful things, it traps the heat from the sun which makes it feel hotter. Imagine it like the Earth covered up with a blanket. When you get hot, you would want to take the blanket off. Well, the Earth cannot take off that blanket when it gets hot. It just keeps getting hotter and hotter. Have you ever been in a greenhouse? If you have, you would know it is very hot. The Earth's atmosphere is like a greenhouse. It takes in the sun heat and traps it inside. Of course our atmosphere releases some heat to make the atmosphere at a moderate temperature and not boiling hot. Global warming is making the Earth much warmer and when the air gets more heated up, the atmosphere doesn't release enough to keep it at that normal temperature.
