How does the melting of polar ice caps contribute to global temperature rise?

• Causing a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions

• Reducing the Earth's albedo, leading to more absorption of solar radiation and heat

• Having no impact on global temperature

• Increasing the Earth's albedo, leading to less absorption of solar radiation and heat

Explain the concept of albedo and its role in climate change.

• Albedo is the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and it has no effect on climate change.

• Albedo is the temperature of the Earth's surface, and it has no impact on climate change.

• Albedo is the reflectivity of a surface, and it plays a role in climate change by influencing the amount of sunlight that is absorbed or reflected by the Earth.

• Albedo is the speed of wind on the Earth's surface, and it has no connection to climate change.

What is the greenhouse effect?

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from the sun warms the planet's surface.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere.
