The document discusses the greenhouse effect and global warming. It explains that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat near the Earth's surface, causing the planet to warm.

explain the concept of the greenhouse effect including a list of specific greenhouse gases and why co2 is most often the focus of public discussion.
Greenhouse effect, a warming of Earth’s surface and troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) caused by the presence of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and certain other gases in the air. Of those gases, known as greenhouse gases, water vapor has the largest effect.
Greenhouse Effect - National Geographic Society
The greenhouse effect happens when certain gases—known as greenhouse gases —collect in Earth’s atmosphere. These gases, which occur naturally in the atmosphere, include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxide, and fluorinated gases sometimes known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
Greenhouse effect - Understanding Global Change
The greenhouse effect, which influences Earth’s average temperature, affects many of the processes that shape global climate and ecosystems. This model shows some of the other parts of the Earth system that the greenhouse effect influences, including the water cycle and water temperature.

What is the greenhouse effect? - NASA Science
What is the greenhouse effect? The greenhouse effect is the processthrough which heat is trapped nearEarth's surface by substances known as 'greenhouse gases.' Imagine these gases as a cozy blanket enveloping our planet, helping to maintain a warmer temperature than it would have otherwise.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that has maintained Earth’s temperature at a habitable level. However, human activities — in particular, the burning of fossil fuels — release additional greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
