[00:00.000]Without it,
[00:01.245]scientists estimate
[00:02.536]that the average temperature on Earth
[00:04.003]would be colder by approximately 30 degrees Celsius,
[00:07.234]far too cold to sustain our current ecosystem.
[00:10.956]Second,
[00:12.626]we need to clarify the way humans contribute to the greenhouse effect.
[00:16.528]While the greenhouse effect
[00:18.832]is an essential environmental prerequisite
[00:21.048]for life on Earth,
[00:22.974]there really can be too much of a good thing.
[00:25.730]The problems begin when human activities distort and accelerate the natural process
[00:30.822]by creating more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
[00:34.385]than are necessary to warm the planet to an ideal temperature,
[00:38.648]for example,
[00:39.452]burning natural gas,
[00:41.122]coal and oil,
[00:42.534]including gasoline for automobile engines,
[00:45.194]raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
[00:48.630]Some farming practices and land-use changes
[00:51.500]increase the levels of methane and nitrous oxide.
[00:54.407]Many factories produce long-lasting industrial gases
[00:58.319]that do not occur naturally,
[01:00.095]yet contribute significantly to the enhanced greenhouse effect
[01:04.409]and global warming that is currently under way.
