Why are some scientists concerned about an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
infrared radiation
An increase would cause an overall heating up of the Earth's atmosphere.
radiation from the Earth and insolation from the Sun
carbon dioxide
The greenhouse traps long-wave infrared radiation.
infrared radiation emitted by Earth is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere
infrared radiation
Venus
Earth’s atmosphere is warmed when
