INTRODUCTIONGlobal warming increases in the average temperature of the atmosphere, oceans, and land- masses of Earth. The planet has warmed many times during the 4.65 billion years of its hist
6、ory. At present Earth appears to be facing a rapid warming, which most scientists believe results, at least in part, from human activities. The chief cause of this warming is thought to be the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which releases into the atmosphere carbon diox
7、ide and other substances known as greenhouse gases. As the atmosphere becomes richer in these gases, it becomes a better insulator, retaining more of the heat provided to the planet by the Sun.The average surface temperature of Earth is about 15 Celsius degree. Over the last century, this average ha
8、s risen by about 0.6 Celsius degree. Scientists predict further warming of 1.4 to 5.8 Celsius degrees by the year 2100. This temperature rise is expected to melt polar ice caps and glaciers as well as warm the oceans, all of which will expand ocean volume and raise sea level by an estimated 9 to 100
9、 cm, flooding some coastal regions and even entire islands. Some regions in warmer climates will receive more rainfall than before, but soils will dry out faster between storms. This soil desiccation may damage food crops, disrupting food supplies in some parts of the world. Plant and animal species
10、 will shift their ranges toward the poles or to higher elevations seeking cooler temperatures, and species that cannot do so may become extinct. The potential consequences of global warming are so great that many of the worlds leading scientists have called for international cooperation and immediat
11、e action to counteract the problem. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECTThe energy that lights and warms Earth comes from the Sun. Most of the energy that floods onto our planet is short-wave radiation, including visible light. When this energy strikes the surface of Earth, the energy changes from light to heat an
12、d warms Earth. Earths surface, in turn, releases some of this heat as long-wave infrared radiation.Much of this long-wave infrared radiation makes it all the way back out to space, but a portion remains trapped in Earths atmosphere. Certain gases in the atmosphere, including water vapor, carbon diox
13、ide, and methane, provide the trap. Absorbing and reflecting infrared waves radiated by Earth, these gases conserve heat as the glass in a greenhouse does and are thus known as greenhouse gases. As the concentration of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases, more heat energy remains trap
14、ped below. All life on Earth relies on this greenhouse effect without it, the planet would be colder by about 33 Celsius degrees, and ice would cover Earth from pole to pole. However, a growing excess of greenhouse gases in Earths atmosphere threatens to tip the balance in the other direction toward
15、 continual warming. TYPES OF GREENHOUSE GASESGreenhouse gases occur naturally in the environment and also result from human activities. By far the most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor, which reaches the atmosphere through evaporation from oceans, lakes, and rivers.Carbon dioxide is the next most abundant greenhouse gas. It flows into the atmosphere from many natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions; the respiration of animals, which breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide; and the burning or decay of organic matter, such as plants. Carbon dioxide leaves the atmos
