Abstract

Our planet has gas as an element of the atmosphere, enveloping the Earth's surface. It acts to prevent ultraviolet (UV) rays from reaching the earth's surface too much. It allows shortwave rays from the sun to penetrate the Earth's surface and absorbs long-wave rays in the hot infrared. (Thermal Infrared Range) that radiates from the Earth's surface. It generates heat and retains it in the atmosphere. before releasing heat back to the Earth's surface, allowing little heat loss to go into deep space. A condition in which the atmosphere envelops the Earth's surface. It acts like a greenhouse, calling the world's enveloping gases "Greenhouse gases" (GHG) and the conditions in which the atmosphere retains heat inside the Earth. By allowing only a small portion of the heat loss to go out of the earth is called the "Greenhouse effect".

The greenhouse effect is vital for maintaining global temperature levels. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would be so cold that life would become unhabitable. The average temperature on the Earth's surface will be negative, around -20 degrees Celsius. The world must have the right amount of greenhouse gases. In the past, greenhouse gases came from naturally occurring activities, creating thermal balance in the atmosphere. Keep the world warm. It has a temperature suitable for all life on the Earth's surface. Both humans, plants and animals, as well as the existence of nature on Earth. On the other hand, if there is an excessive amount of greenhouse gases. It is also causing the planet to increase in heat. Global temperatures may rise to levels that are detrimental to the existence of living beings. and nature on the planet.

Today, the amount of greenhouse gases enveloping our planet is rapidly increasing. from air pollution. The destruction of the ozone layer, which protects the Earth's surface, occurs. This makes heat radiation less likely to reflect back off Earth. Ultraviolet rays increasingly come through and touch the Earth's surface. Then reflect the Earth's surface back as more infrared radiation or heat waves. This large amount of greenhouse gases absorbs more of the heat generated. So our planet is getting hotter. As the heat rises  , it affects the natural way and the original climate, causing "climate change"  to cause variability in various phenomena on Earth. Call it "global warming." Historically, it's not like there hasn't been climate change. It's just that the changes that occur are often slow. It takes a long time, hundreds-thousands of years. but in the  last 150 years since the Industrial Revolution. Climate change is happening fast. The world is rising very fast. Since human activities are the main part, it has been found to be associated with a large increase in the amount of three major greenhouse gases   : carbon dioxide (CO2). Nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4)

Global warming" is a specific term for the incidence of global climate change. The average temperature of near-surface air in both the surface and ocean surface at any time of the world is rising. Since the second half of the 20th century, climate change is a change in average weather, which includes all characteristics related to the weather, such as temperature, rain, wind, etc. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) uses the term "climate change" for climate change as a direct or indirect consequence of human activities. That changes the composition of the atmosphere. The term "climate variability" is used for changes caused by other causes, while the term "climate variability" is used in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). mean Climate change due to natural variations or human activities that increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This causes the greenhouse effect to be more severe than it should naturally be, and as a result, the air temperature around the Earth's surface rises.
