One argument is because of the human activities:
-By burning fossil fuels, emitting CO2 into the atmosphere.
-By other human activities that releases gases such as Methane CO into the atmosphere
Another is by deforestation which destroys the amount of trees that is there to consume the CO2 emitted.

Why would increased levels of greenhouse gases contribute to higher temperatures?
Increased levels of greenhouse gases trap more heat in the Earth's atmosphere, creating a "greenhouse effect." This leads to higher temperatures as more heat is retained and absorbed by the Earth's surface.
What do greenhouses gases trap?
Greenhouse gases trap infrared heat (from the sun) rising from the surface of the earth. More greenhouse gases trap more heat, and this is the situation now. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular are trapping more heat and causing a global warming.
When carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere what happens to global temperatures?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
What atmospheric gases help to heat the earth?
The atmospheric gases carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are all greenhouse gases that help to heat the Earth.
How are excess greenhouse gases affecting the temperature of earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases help keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. When we increase the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases above their natural level, this leads to global warming, in other words higher average temperatures across the globe.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
Why would increased levels of greenhouse gases contribute to higher temperatures?
Increased levels of greenhouse gases trap more heat in the Earth's atmosphere, creating a "greenhouse effect." This leads to higher temperatures as more heat is retained and absorbed by the Earth's surface.
The temperature of the Earth is rising due to the increase of what?
Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global warming.
Are there greenhouse gases in Antarctica?
Yes. In fact Antarctica is in some ways the best location to measure the atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases, because there is no local industry to give false high or variable readings.
What do greenhouses gases trap?
Greenhouse gases trap infrared heat (from the sun) rising from the surface of the earth. More greenhouse gases trap more heat, and this is the situation now. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular are trapping more heat and causing a global warming.
The is the lowest atmospheric layer that contains greenhouse gases A Troposphere B Stratosphere C Both A and B D None of the Above?
The lowest atmospheric layer that contains greenhouse gases is the troposphere
How do you test how global warming affects weather?
Global warming affects the climate. Scientists can measure:the rising levels of greenhouse gases,the rising temperatures,the rising sea levels,the rising number of weather events like heatwaves, floods and storms.
How do atmospheric greenhouse gases help heat the atmosphere?
Atmospheric greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun, preventing it from escaping back into space. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, helps to warm the Earth's atmosphere and surface.
When carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere what happens to global temperatures?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
What atmospheric gases help to heat the earth?
The atmospheric gases carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are all greenhouse gases that help to heat the Earth.
Are greenhouse gases just a theory?
Greenhouse gases do exist and are not just a theory. Scientists have known for hundreds of years that some atmospheric gases (water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and others) absorb heat rising from the surface of the earth.
Do all atmospheric gases contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Not all atmospheric gases contribute to the greenhouse effect; only certain gases, known as greenhouse gases, have the ability to trap heat in the atmosphere. Key greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor. While gases like oxygen and nitrogen make up a large portion of the atmosphere, they do not significantly contribute to the greenhouse effect because they do not absorb infrared radiation. Thus, only a subset of atmospheric gases plays a critical role in regulating Earth's temperature.
