Climate Change

In recent years, our daily newspapers and nightly news programs have grown more urgent in warning us about melting ice caps, stronger hurricanes and higher-than-average temperatures as a result of global warming. If you’ve ever wondered what the exact cause of climate change is, this is the Cribsheet for you. Here Seed explains the mechanism of the greenhouse effect, cites evidence for the proportional relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperatures and discusses governments’ attempts to address the challenges caused by climate change.
