claim: Less energy is escaping to space: Carbon dioxide (CO2) acts like a blanket; adding more CO2 makes the 'blanket' thicker, and humans are adding more CO2 all the time.
evidences.evidence_id: Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere:75
evidences.article: Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere
evidences.evidence: The increased radiative forcing due to increased CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere is based on the physical properties of CO2 and the non-saturated absorption windows where CO2 absorbs outgoing long-wave energy.

evidences.evidence_id: Carbon dioxide:192
evidences.article: Carbon dioxide
evidences.evidence: Increases in atmospheric concentrations of CO 2 and other long-lived greenhouse gases such as methane, nitrous oxide and ozone have correspondingly strengthened their absorption and emission of infrared radiation, causing the rise in average global temperature since the mid-20th century.

evidences.evidence_id: Climate change mitigation:29
evidences.article: Climate change mitigation
evidences.evidence: The reason for this is that human activities are adding CO2 to the atmosphere faster than natural processes can remove it (see carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere for a complete explanation).

evidences.evidence_id: Climate change mitigation:8
evidences.article: Climate change mitigation
evidences.evidence: Examples of mitigation include reducing energy demand by increasing energy efficiency, phasing out fossil fuels by switching to low-carbon energy sources, and removing carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere.
