The basic science of global warming says: •The suns radiation comes in in the form of light waves. •Then, some of the radiation that is absorbed and warms the Earth is re-radiated back into space in the form of infrared radiation. •Some of that radiation is trapped by one layer of atmosphere and it warm the Earth.•That keeps the temperature of the Earth within certain boundaries.

The problem is this thin layer of atmosphere is being thickened by our global warming pollution, so more outgoing infrared radiation is trapped. And so the atmosphere heats up worldwide.

Don’t worry about it!We’ve chosen one video that will solve all your doubts!!! Be careful with these words:

-Went away: desapareció-Culprit: culpable-Foreigners: extrajeros/forasteros-Popping in: ir a visitar-I’ll be on my way: seguiré mi camino-Greenhouse gases: gases invernadero-Chock-full: lleno/al completo-Rotting corpses: cadáveres putrefactos-get rid of: librarse de-once and for all: de una vez por todas

In the last 20 years, in the Antarctic Peninsula have broken up many ice shelves (green blotches).

We want to show you one special ice shelf, called Larsen B. that went away in 2002 in a period of 35 days!

1. 31st January. 2. 17th February. 3. 23rd February. 4. 5th March.

Well, we’re going to show you a striking video, subtracted from “An Inconvenience Truth”, and it shows us what and how happened in the last Ice Age.After see it, you should think in it.
