When fossil fuels, or other fuels, such as wood or peat, which contain
carbon are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Vehicles
also give out, and so add, carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
The Earth’s atmosphere allows most of the Sun’s rays to pass through
it to heat the Earth’s surface. The Earth re
Á ects much of the heat energy back into the atmosphere, but much of
this re Á ected radiation cannot escape
because gases such as carbon dioxide absorb it. They grow warm and send
heat radiation back to Earth. This is the greenhouse effect. Many scientists
think that the greenhouse effect may change the climate, over the next

100 years or so. One consequence of so-called “global warming” resulting
from the greenhouse effect could be melting of the polar ice. This in turn,
could lead to a rise in sea level which could flood large areas of highly
populated coastal land. If carbon dioxide proves to be
harmful as thought in order to reduce carbon dioxide levels we need to
reduce the amounts of carbon-rich fuels burned.
