- Which statement best describes the cause of the Earth's warming in recent decades? Which one is it? 1. Volcanic eruptions have increased in frequency, causing more greenhouse gases to be emitted. 2. The sun has become brighter, causing the planet to absorb more heat. 3. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide have increased in concentration. This has prevented some of the radiation that normally leaves the Earth's atmosphere from leaving, causing the temperature l to increase. 4. The species of plant that normally absorb sunlight have undergone genetic mutations, causing them to emit heat rather than absorb it.arrow_forwardHow does the burning of fossil fuels contribute to global warming?.arrow_forwardWhat do you understand by Natural and Human Enhanced Greenhouse Effect?
