BODY
First Main Point: Basic Environmental Technology states the following: Global warming or otherwise known as the greenhouse effect is the contamination of the earth’s atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and other trace gases like Nitrous oxide and Methane trap heat from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere causing the earth to heat up at a very high rate.
Sub point: About 60% of the warming effect is blamed by carbon dioxide, 25% is blamed on Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and the remaining to nitrous oxide, methane, ozone, and other trace gases.
Sub-sub-point: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere by the burning of solid waste, wood and wood products and fossil fuels like oil, natural gas, and coal. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are not biodegradable coming from aerosol cans, refrigerants, foam insulation, and industrial solvents.
