This learning resource focuses on the greenhouse effect, a natural process responsible for warming the Earth's surface.

Additionally, the resource addresses the human impact on greenhouse gas levels, reviews two specific effects of climate change on the planet, and encourages students to consider actionable steps individuals can take to combat this pressing issue.
