The Very, Very Simple Climate Model

This Windows to the Universe resource models that the average temperature of our planet depends on the concentration of greenhouse gases, specifically CO2. If we reduce the amount of CO2 we release into the atmosphere but still release some CO2, the amount in the atmosphere will continue to increase and temperatures will continue to rise. Whenever CO2 emissions are greater than zero, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is growing. Topics: greenhouse gases, temperature, atmosphere, carbon dioxide
