The way greenhouse effect works is as the Earth absorbs incoming solar radiation and then tries to cool down by emitting long wavelength radiation, this radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases and can’t escape causing the average annual temperature to rise (Greenhouse). Climate experts generally agree that global warming must have a part in the world’s temperature (Kuchment). Even President Bill Clinton knew that global warming was a threat in his radio address on July 25, 1998. “Global warming is real; the risks it poses are real; and the American people have the right to know it and a responsibility to do something about it...” Even so some people argue that the world has been warming at a steady pace in a cycle. Ice cores show that between ice ages there were great swings in greenhouse gases and temperature of the atmosphere. However, today we are pushing the CO2 levels and temperatures past a height it last reached ages ago when Earth’s climate was completely different (Kunzig).
