52 Global Warming & Climate Change The average global temperature is rising sharply due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. This rise in temperature is creating change in the world's climate which will have enormous consequences for people and the planet. Humans are contributing to the greenhouse effect by emitting greenhouse gases (GHGs) that trap energy and warm the atmosphere. Most of the emissions come from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gasoline. T. Suntola 52

53 Global Warming & Climate Change. OR. The average global temperature is rising sharply due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere.
