... Earth’s Greenhouse Effect To study climate change, we need to understand Earth’s greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is an important phenomenon that makes conditions on Earth suitable for life; without it Earth would be a much colder planet. Some of the sun’s radiation that reaches Earth’s surf ...

module 10: what evidence do we have of climate change
... There was no accurate measurement of air temperature until the 17 th Century. To know what was happening before 1850, we have to rely on what things like tree rings, fossils, and the gases trapped in ice cores tell us about local temperatures.
