IR radiation

1. IR radiation means infrared radiation, which is the heat or thermal radiation from the Sun, that heats the Earth.

2. The three main greenhouse gases are Carbon dioxide, Argon and Water vapor.

3. I kind of think its both a good and a bad, but I'm going to favor bad a little more because with the increase of greenhouse gases; the temperature will also increase globally. This is bad because it causes the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic to melt at fast rates, which will endanger animal species that live in polar regions. Alot of places will receive either less snow or no snow as we're experiencing now.Greenhouse gases also destroy the ozone layer which is very important in blocking out the Sun's UV rays. Thats why i think greenhouse gases are bad.
