Carbon Dioxide Nitrous Oxide
1,288 wordsThe Clouded Atmosphere Clouded Atmosphere The concentration of the atmospheres main greenhouse gases specifically, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor, have increased significantly during the industrial age. These high concentrations are predicted to continue in the atmosphere for thousands of years to come. This increase in specially carbon dioxide, increases the infrared energy taken in by the atmosphere, and warming the earths surface. The Global mean temperature over the ...
