would not warm the earth as much. That was then named the faint young sun paradox. The article then explains how the two greenhouse gases carbon dioxide‚ and methane could have trapped heat in the atmosphere. This would have all been possible and happened during the archean eon. One thing this article explained well is how much of Co2 and methane combined would have kept heat trapped in the atmosphere. Just to keep earth above freezing‚ it would take about 75 times of Co2 as there

this detrimental occurrence is attributed to the developing emission of greenhouse gases in the world’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gases (GHG) are the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. The four main gases that make up the GHG are carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and fluorinated gases. The largest reason for the rise of these gases is the goings-on of human beings. The livestock industry is the largest of these activities. An article in World Watch magazine written by co-authors Goodland

There are four major factors when it comes to nature causing climate changes; volcanic eruptions‚ ocean currents‚ earth orbital changes‚ and solar variations. There are three major factors when it comes to humans causing climate changes; transportation‚ deforestation‚ and fossil fuels to generate energy. Volcanic eruptions can cause the climate to change. When a volcano erupts tiny particles called aerosols shoot into the atmosphere. These tiny particles reflect solar energy into space and cool

fuels across the world‚ governments and companies are looking to unconventional fuel resources. This means the fuel is extracted via another method then the conventional well strategy. These resources include fracturing of oil and gas source rocks‚ methane hydrates‚ tar sands and coal seam gasification. There are benefits such as energy security and economic growth associated with these resources. However‚ there are environmental disadvantages which may prove detrimental to sustainability and an uncertainty
