What’s REALLY Warming the Earth?
 

Global Warming and The Sun's Energy
ClimateClimate  is the prevailing weather conditions (winds, temperature, air pressure, humidity, rain, sunshine, and cloudiness) of a region or the earth over a long period of time i.e. decades, centuries and longer periods of time. Weather on the other hand is the condition of a region or Earth over a short period of time such as days or weeks.
The Sun provides our light, warmth and sustainability. Without the Sun the Earth would be a ball of ice and all the life we now hold dear would not exist. However the Sun can also be detrimental to our climate if we don't prevent the Greenhouse effect and the degradation of our atmosphere.
