      1. The rest is trapped in lower layers
      2. Caused by: Gases and water vapor
        1. Increase heating
          1. More water evaporation
            1. We produce other greenhouse gases
              1. Burning Fossil fuels
                1. Causes
                  1. 60% of warming

                  1. Rise by 1 to 3.5 degrees in the next hundred years
                  2. Missing Carbon
