ng. By trapping in the sun's heat, the Earth can be warmed up. Many of the Earth's natural disasters, such as volcanic activity, and other factors, have caused our planet's (Bates 23) atmosphere to become either colder or warmer. The global average temperature of the surface has increased by one degree Fahrenheit over the past century. This indicates that this warming trend is due to human influences. In conclusion, if there were no greenhouse effect then there would be no global warming. The greenhouse effect causes the global warming to increase as well as humans and other creatures influence. There are many ways to help prevent and protect both. If people try to help out, then it would be a longer process to keep the ozone layer healthy longer. But, nothing will be done until we as humans start helping out. Works Cited Bates, Albert K. Climate in Crisis: The greenhouse Effect and what We can do. Tennessee: The Book Pub. Co. 1990.
