Is the world getting warmer?
If so, are the actions of mankind to blame for earth’s temperature increases?
What can/should be done about these issues?
Are the potential resolutions worth the cost to implement them?
In examining global warming, we will be looking at questions such as

History of Earth’s Climate
Earth formed ~4.6 billion years ago
Originally very hot
Sun’s energy output only 70% of present
Liquid water present ~4.3 billion years ago (zircon dating)
Much of earth’s early history erased during late heavy bombardment (~3.9 billion years ago)
This is a big picture examination of the earth’s climate
The Earth was formed around 4.6 billion years ago
And was originally very hot
However, the Sun’s energy output was only 70% of what it is presently
Liquid water was present on the surface around 4.3 billion years ago, according to zircon dating
However, much of earth’s early history was erased during late heavy bombardment, which took place around 3.9 billion years ago
History of Earth’s Climate
Life appeared ~3.8 billion years ago
Photosynthesis began 3.5-2.5 billion years ago
Produced oxygen and removed carbon dioxide and methane (greenhouse gases)
Earth went through periods of cooling (“Snowball Earth”) and warming
Earth began cycles of glacial and interglacial periods ~3 million years ago
The first life forms appeared ~3.8 billion years ago
Photosynthesis began 3.5-2.5 billion years ago,
which produced oxygen and removed carbon dioxide and methane, which are greenhouse gases, from the atmosphere
As a result, the Earth went through periods of cooling, commonly referred to as “Snowball Earth” and subsequent warming
Earth began its current cycles of glacial and interglacial periods around 3 million years ago

Energy
The temperature of the earth is directly related to the energy input from the Sun. Some of the Sun’s energy is reflected by clouds. Other is reflected by ice. The remainder is absorbed by the earth.

Radiative
Cooling
If amount of solar energy absorbed by the earth is equal to the amount radiated back into space, the earth remains at a constant temperature.

However, if the amount of solar energy is greater than the amount radiated, then the earth heats up.

If the amount of solar energy is less than the amount radiated, then the earth cools down.
Greenhouse Effect
Sun
To a certain degree, the earth acts like a greenhouse. Energy from the Sun penetrates the glass of a greenhouse and warms the air and objects within the greenhouse. The same glass slows the heat from escaping, resulting in much higher temperatures within the greenhouse than outside it.
