Hi,
Hers's my simple idea about global warming.
The suns energy is absorbed by the earth.
The Earth re-emits this energy as heat.
Human technology emits greenhouse gasses and produces more heat.
Green house gasses are increasing in the atmosphere.
The more CO2 and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere the more of this heat is reflected back to the Earth and warms the Earth and the lower atmosphere, while the upper atmosphere experiences cooling.
The global average temperature has risen about one degree F in the last century with larger increases in the higher latitudes.
Artic sea ice has thinned around 50% in the last century or less.
Glaciers are melting at a much higher rate today all over the world.
Seems like global warming is real to me.
