Greenhouse gases increase the average temperature of the Earth’s atmosphere. The average temperature increase of the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere) based on surveys from satellites is estimated to be 0.14 – 0.20 oC per decade between 1978 and 2011. From 1880, r egular global temperature surveys began. From 1901 to 2010, the…
