By trapping heat near the surface of the earth‚ the greenhouse effect is warming the planet and threatening the environment. Many scientists criticized Mr. Hansen’s report‚ and the debate over global warming continues today. Current fears stem largely from the fact that global warming is occurring at such a rapid pace. Models are predicting that over the
