or more. Global warming begins with the greenhouse effect, which is caused by the interaction between Earth's atmosphere and incoming radiation from the sun. Solar radiation passes through the atmosphere and is partially absorbed on the surface of Earth. Some of the incoming radiation, however, is reflected back out toward space. Gases in Earth's atmosphere absorb some of that reflected radiation; as a result, the atmosphere heats up. Greenhouse gases have been accumulating in the Earth’s atmosphere
