Presentation Summary

The climate and weather are closely related, and as the climate changes, extreme weather events increase. Rising greenhouse gases caused by human activities lead to the enhanced greenhouse effect, which in turn is warming our earth. Scientists use various tools and techniques to measure temperature and CO2 changes in the atmosphere.
