Description:
This graphic illustrates how the levels of greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere in the case of the anthropogenically intensified greenhouse effect. The thermal radiation emitted by Earth is absorbed by the greenhouse gases and reflected back to Earth. This results in a higher average temperature on Earth’s surface.
