True or false--According to the theory of greenhouse gases increasing amounts ofCO2 and CH4 cause global warmi
Answer:
It's true. CO2 and CH4 are opaque to infrared light. After the sun goes down at night all the objects (rocks, soil, etc) that have been warmed by the sun all day radiate that heat back into space in the form of infrared light. (all objects above absolute zero radiate infrared light). With greenhouse gases in the atmosphere a certain amount of that IR is reflected back to earth and is retained so things just keep getting warmer and warmer. Just look at Venus. Some time ago planetwide volcanic eruptions saturated the atmosphere with greenhouse gases so nowadays the surface temp is 900F, hot enough to melt lead.
True. (According to the greenhouse effect theory which is currently the scientific consensus).
Very true, however CH4 causes 62 times more global warming than CO2. Driving a car on methane harvested from livestock feces would be the equivalent of taking 61 cars off and just burning that gas for the fun of it would be like taking 60 cars off the road. Because of this, agriculturalists are working to make cattle feed that produces less gas. And although I am not a vegetarian I do limit how much meat I eat because of the methane production as well as all the antibiotics and steroids they add. Any rain forest grown livestock grown will all add significant amounts of methane to the environment as the slash and burn methods causes the ant and termite populations to explode which give off the most methane of any creature on the planet.
False. The decrease of CO2 causes a rise of temperature on our planet. Save our forest.
