The greenhouse effect ________
colder
ALL: continental drift, breaking up of landmasses, AND changing amounts of CO2
was sometimes warmer in the past than it is now.
makes life on Earth possible, because without it Earth would be too cold for life to develop.
Antarctica used to be much warmer than it is now.
BOTH continental drift AND changing amount of CO2.
trap
Because human societies are adapted for the climate that we have now.
