Why exactly is the Earth Warming? - The Greenhouse Effect
With those actively trying to discredit what is happening in our world today, I wanted to break down how come we are seeing such a dramatic warming of the planet and more importantly, WHY this is occurring.
What you should learn from this video:
-How temperature is determined by energy fluxes
-How changing a flux changes the temperature
-What greenhouse gases are
-How greenhouse gases change energy fluxes
-Why methane is a stronger greenhouse gas than CO2
