Because all the warm air is rising and traveling to the colder spots in the northern hemisphere.
"Higher temperatures will result in the mercury in the thermometer expanding and rising, while lower temperatures will cause the mercury to contract and fall."
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.
Warm temperatures do not necessarily equal lower pressures, but they can influence pressure in certain contexts. According to the ideal gas law, when temperature increases, pressure can also increase if the volume of the gas remains constant. However, in the atmosphere, warm air tends to rise, leading to lower pressure at the surface because the rising warm air creates a vacuum effect. Thus, while there can be a relationship, it depends on the specific circumstances involved.
Forests (and all vegetation) remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This reduces the effects of the enhanced greenhouse effect, slowing the rising temperatures of global warming.
Yes, global temperatures are rising due to climate change. This is primarily caused by the increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which trap heat and lead to warming temperatures globally.

Yes, convection of the Earth's atmosphere does occur in the mesosphere, but it is not as significant as in the lower atmosphere due to the thinner air. The mesosphere is characterized by very low densities and temperatures, which can limit the vertical movement of air compared to the lower levels of the atmosphere.
Temperatures decrease in the third layer of the atmosphere, the mesosphere, because it is where the majority of solar radiation is absorbed by the lower layers of the atmosphere. As a result, the mesosphere has less warming from the sun and experiences cooling due to the decreasing density of air molecules with height.
Global temperatures are rising due to the increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming effect on the Earth's climate. This phenomenon, known as global warming, is primarily caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
The gradual increase of the average air temperature in the earth's lower atmosphere is called global warming. This phenomenon is primarily driven by the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and lead to a rise in temperatures.
