Global Warming
http://www.oregon.gov/DSL/SSNERR/docs/EFS/EFS37globalwarm.pdf


This site provides a PDF presenting information about the greenhouse effect and the acceleration of the warming process called climate forcing. The natural greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone) are being increased and supplemented due to human activity such as overpopulation, leveling of the world's forests, burning of fossil fuels, global industrialization, and the introduction of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere. This resource explains why and how global warming will continue.
