Global Warming

Global warming is...well, I'll use pictures to help explain.

These are the suns rays, heading to earth.

The suns rays are entering earth's orbit.  Notice how the rays pass right through the greenhouse gas made by burning fossil fuels.

The suns rays have made it to earth, and have turned into heat.  This is what happens when the sun's rays hit objects.  Now, it is heating up the earth, and prepares to leave.

Uh oh!  The greenhouse gas is blocking the heat from leaving earth's atmosphere, since heat cannot pass through like the suns rays.  This causes the earth to heat up.

So there is an explanation of global warming.
