New Study Confirms That Carbon Dioxide Is Causing the Greenhouse Effect
Yet another study among several decade’s worth of other studies that once more proves the link between carbon dioxide and warming.
A new study has confirmed what it was already proved through lab experiments that the greenhouse effect is real and it is happening in the United States. A new study showed that pumping carbon dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere is causing the surface of our plant to warm up. The results of the study were published in the journal Nature.
Scientists at the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory in California, led by scientist Dan Feldman have measured carbon dioxide concentrations and have obtained proof that the rising levels of CO2 are leading to the greenhouse effect.
Ever since the early ’60s scientists have noticed that the levels of carbon dioxide as well as other greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere are increasing. Lab tests and various other experiments have shown how these gases absorb some of the infrared radiation that our planet emits into the outer space and when that happens, the planet’s temperature rises. The entire process is similar to the way a greenhouse works and that is why scientists named this process the greenhouse effect.
