AP Success - AP World History: Greenhouse Effect: Historical View

"Atmospheric monitoring programs show that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased about 8% over the last twenty-five years and now stands at about 340 parts per million . . .The carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere is of concern since it can affect global climate . . . Mitigation of the “greenhouse effect” would require major reductions in fossil fuel consumption. . . Overall, the current outlook suggests potentially serious climate programs are not likely to occur until the late 21st century."
