Greenhouse The Greenhouse Effect – a process where gases in the atmosphere stop heat from leaving the earth. Greenhouse Gases – any gas that prevents heat energy from earth from escaping into outer space. They include: • Water Vapor • Carbon Dioxide – 76.6% human • Methane – 14% human • Nitrous Oxide – 8%
**While there is still SOME debate** many scientists agree that: The earth is getting warmer due to: • Increased amounts of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere caused by the burning of fossil fuels • Increased Methane due to farming practices and land fills.
