Moreover, the mean temperature of the planet earth shall only change once there is an inequality between the rates of energy added and energy lost. What this implies is that any substance which can alter the rates of flow of energy may cause the warming of the earth or the cooling of the world.

As far as man-made global warming is concerned, the additional carbon dioxide in the air is known to decrease the rate as which planet earth cools to the exterior space. This readily happens in nature during the greenhouse effect of the atmospheric system. The greenhouse effect is a natural process in which water vapor, clouds, carbon dioxide and methane serve as a radiative blanket. Therefore, the lower atmosphere of the earth and the surface are lagged. Consequently, the earths mean surface temperature is escalated by approximately thirty three degrees celsius. Likewise, the globe's natural greenhouse effect sustains the lower atmosphere and surface hot than if there was no any greenhouse effect.
Therefore excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere scarcely augments the greenhouse effect.

However if the quantity of cloud cover which is reflecting sun back to space plummets a change in oceanic and atmospheric flow patterns, more sunlight will be soaked up by the sea. Consequently, there will be an inequality between the infrared energy dropped and solar energy added by the globe. The ocean will thus heat up due to this inequality. As a result, warmer and moister air masses will flow above the continents and thenceforth the land will too become warm (Roy, 2009). Global warming has resulted to the melting of ice on surface of the earth and consequently the increase in the volume of water in seas and oceans.
