“Radiation Balance is the balance between the amount of energy entering out atmosphere compared to the amount of energy escaping back to space.

“If more energy enters our atmosphere than leaves our atmosphere will get warmer and warmer.

“If more energy leaves our atmosphere than enters our atmosphere will get cooler and cooler.

Records kept over the past 100 years show that global temperatures are increasing.

Most scientists that human activities such as burning fossil fuels are a leading cause of this.
