那么，到底是什么導(dǎo)致全球平均地表溫度上升呢？氣候科學(xué)家常常會(huì)提到一個(gè)關(guān)鍵的氣候過程﹣-"溫室效應(yīng)"；它有兩個(gè)常見的含義："天然"溫室效應(yīng)和"人造"溫室效應(yīng)。"天然"溫室效應(yīng)指的是來自太陽(yáng)的熱量以短波輻射的形式進(jìn)人大氣層，使地表變暖。熱量以更長(zhǎng)的波長(zhǎng)釋放回太空。大氣中的溫室氣體，如甲烷和二氧化碳，會(huì)吸收一些熱量，使地球氣候保持溫暖和適宜居住。沒有這個(gè)過程，地球就無法維持生命。However,the"man-made"greenhouseeffecthasnowbecomeabigproblem.Whenpeopleproducehugeamountsofextragreenhousegasesbyburningfossilfuels,moreheatenergyistrappedintheatmosphereandcausesEarth'ssurfacetemperaturetorisequickly.然而，"人造"溫室效應(yīng)現(xiàn)在卻成為一個(gè)大問題。當(dāng)人類由于燃燒化石燃料產(chǎn)生了大量額外的溫室氣體，更多的熱能被困在大氣層中，導(dǎo)致地表溫度迅速上升。Task4Results(para.4)
