The effects of rising greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, differ from the warmth we feel at the surface because the mesosphere is considerably thinner than the section of the atmosphere we live in. The troposphere, where humans dwell, has been described as a dense blanket by one researcher. (Photo : dimitrisvetsikas1969 on Pixabay) According to James Russell, the atmosphere is dense at the Earth's surface, a research co-author and atmospheric scientist at Hampton University in Virginia. "Carbon dioxide traps heat in the same way as a blanket does, keeping you warm." In addition, there a...
