How do greenhouse gases cause climate warming?

Greenhouse gases prevent radiation of infrared energy back into space, trapping the heat near the earths surface and causing the climate to warm.

Which of the following is most likely caused for a sudden sharp increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels?

Human activities, including the use of fossil fuel's, changes in agricultural practices, and deforestation

Over the past several decades, the overall trend for earth temperatures have been

Increase in overall global temperatures at an accelerating rate, a phenomenon known as global warming

according to the evidence of climate change, and there has been an overall _____ in water and temperature, and overall _____ in ice formations.

Increase; decrease

What is the main difference in the formation of coal vs. the formation of natural gas and oil

Natural gas and oil for mainly deposits of plants and animals living in oceans in coal formed mainly from the remains of plants and animals and swampy anoxic environments

Which of the following minor contributing greenhouse cases are produced from agricultural practice such as the use of burning fossil fuels and used in fertilizers?
