Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is the way that the atmosphere keeps the temeratures suitable for things to live. With the greenhous effect the Sun's thermal energy enters the atmoshere but it does not escape. Meaning that the atmoshere is able to trap the warm heat in the atmoshere and uses it to keep Earth suitably warm. Radiation is the primary way that the air is heated. The atmosphere holds onto that radiated air and then r-radiates the air at night when the sun isn't able to radiate it itself. The ozone is a major part in the greenhouse effect. With the depletion of the ozone layer the atmosphere will have a harder time controling the temperature. Deadly radiation waves will enter Earth's atmosphere and then that will cause the temperature to get warmer and warmer, causing a lot of damage throught the world.

Everyone should be concerned about the depletion of the ozone and losing the greenhouse effect. The process of losing these things are very slow but they do cause a lot of damage. And it has already damaged things; polor bears and other arctic animals are already suffering, losing their habitat, and dying off slowly but constently. On top of scientists, the rest of the world's people sould be concerned because it will catch up with their future (life, future family, etc.) darasticly.
