What is the Greenhouse Affect?

• As carbon dioxide concentrations increase, temperatures increase

• Condition that is caused by carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere

• causes sea levels to rise because it adds water to the ocean.

• The cooling of Earth due to air pollution.
