Global Warming

Earth’s temperature is controlled by the balance of the incoming solar energy from the Sun and the terrestrial energy radiated back into space.

This balance is controlled by the composition of the planet’s surface and more importantly, the composition of the atmosphere. Scientific study has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that human influence is changing both the composition of the planet’s surface and the atmosphere, and in effect is warming the climate on Earth.
