Why does climate change? What is man’s role?
... The first theory of climate change contends that human emissions of greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, and nitrous oxide, are causing a catastrophic rise in global temperatures. The mechanism whereby this happens is called the enhanced greenhouse effect. We call this theory ...
