43、nterest for as long as a century, has to do with a gradual warming of the earths atmosphere. The warming is caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the air around us; the CO2 holds heat from the sun instead of letting it be radiated back into space. The more of it in the atmosphere,
44、 the more difficult it is for the heat to escape.CO2 in huge amounts is constantly being released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels for energy, especially coal.
