There is too much carbon dioxide in the air. When oil, gas and coal are burnt, they create a large amount of
carbon dioxide. We send around five million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. This amount will
double in fifty years. This carbon dioxide lets sunlight enter the Earth’s atmosphere and heat the Earth. However, it
doesn’t let much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space. It is like a blanket. That is, the heat can pass from the
sun through blanket to warm the Earth, but the heat stays there and cannot escape through the blanket again. Scientist
call this the greenhouse effect.
