Global warming is a term used to refer to the phenomenon of the increase in global average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans, since 1850, coinciding with the end of the so-called Little Ice Age, [1] or either Regarding longer periods. [2] This increase would have increased in the last decades of the twentieth century and the first century.
Global warming is associated with climate change that may have anthropogenic cause or not. The main effect that causes global warming is the greenhouse effect, a phenomenon that refers to the absorption-by certain atmospheric gases, mainly CO2-energy part of the floor beams, as a result of being heated by solar radiation. The natural greenhouse effect that stabilizes the Earth's climate is not a matter to be included in the global warming debate. Without this natural greenhouse temperatures would drop by about 30 ° C, with such change, the oceans would freeze and life as we know it would be impossible. To this effect occurs are required these greenhouse gases, but in appropriate proportions. What worries climate scientists is that an elevation of that ratio will produce an increase in temperature due to heat trapped in the lower atmosphere.
