Rise In Sea Level Carbon Dioxide
633 wordsThe global warming is caused by emissions of over 20 gases into the atmosphere. The major contributors are carbon dioxide (CO 2), ozone, methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Although these gases are produced by many industrial processes, the major source is the burning of fossil fuels in boilers, furnaces and automobile engines. When released into the air in large quantities, these gases cause the earths atmosphere to warm by trapping the suns heat. Infrared radiation that woul...
