Answer» We knowCO2absorbs and re-emits longwave radiation (Tyndall). The theory ofgreenhouse gases predicts that if we increase the proportion ofgreenhouse gases, more warming will occur The temperature of the Earth depends on the balance between incoming energy from the Sun and the energy that bounces back into the space Carbon dioxide absorbs hear that would otherwise be lost to space. Some of this energy is reflected back to earth causing additional heating of the planet |
