The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon that keeps our planet at a comfortable temperature averaging 60.0F. Since the mid-nineteenth century, however, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased nearly 30% because of the increased use of fossil fuels to run cars, heat homes and power factories. Without controlling, the amount of carbon-dioxide by 2100 may increase by 30%-150% and could lift the average global temperature by up to 2.5 0F in the next 50 years.
