3. How Global Warming Works? Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 )
4. The Sun’s energy passes through the car’s windshield. This energy (heat) is trapped inside the car and cannot pass back through the windshield, causing the inside of the car to warm up. Example of the Greenhouse Effect

21. An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation . Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers . Other likely effects of the warming include more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events including heatwaves , droughts and heavy rainfall events, species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes, and changes in agricultural yields .
