| Title: | Global Warming. |
| Caption: | This animation first shows incoming shortwave radiation from the Sun. It then shows the Earth's emission of longwave radiation. Next it shows how greenhouse gases hinder the escape of some of the longwave radiation, leading to increased temperatures. A table provides data on changes in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the lower atmosphere from 1750 to 2100. A graph shows changes in surface air temperature since the 1880s. |
