Global Warming According to ASEN

The Earth is warming up due to people pumping ever more greenhouse gases such as CO2 into our atmosphere.  These greenhouse gases act as a barrier known as the greenhouse effect which prevents heat (infrared radiation) escaping into space.  Now without this barrier, the Earth would be uninhabitable, but the problem is we are increasing the barrier at a rate, which the Earth and its systems have never experienced before and it can’t keep up!  The result of trapping more and more heat in the atmosphere is climate chaos!
