Global warming

Global warming is an increase of the average temperature of the atmosphere. I do believe in global warming. I feel that the temperature in the atmosphere is rising and this does cause lots of damage. Pollution contributes to global warming Carbon dioxide also leads to global warming. carbon dioxide collects heat from the sun and heats the Earth. Spraying hairspray is a certain cause because it also cause global warming. Some people may not believe in global warming. This may be because they feel that CO2 has nothing to do with the earth's temperature rising. They also feel that this is a natural process and its just because of the sun.
