Do greenhouse gases cause global warming?

Yes. Greenhouse gases capture the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. We are adding these gases by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere). This extra greenhouse gas is causing the extra warming that is global warming.


Why is the Earth getting warmer every day?

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat. We are continuing to add extra greenhouse gases (by burning fossil fuels) and this is causing the warming. The great forests that used to remove carbon dioxide (one of the greenhouse gases) from the atmosphere have been destroyed.
