How much of the ocean stores the same amount of energy that is found in the atmosphere?


Rate This Answer

The amount of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has risen by approximately 30 percent since the Industrial Revolution. This rise is likely to affect climate because carbon dioxide and other gases absorb much of the radiation that is emitted by the Earth’s surface. Instead of escaping into space, this energy warms the atmosphere near the Earth’s surface, creating a greenhouse effect.
