Substances called **greenhouse gases** are important because they act as a blanket to keep **thermal energy** in our atmosphere. However, human activities can **increase** the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere so much that they keep too much thermal energy in the atmosphere. This causes global temperatures to **rise**, which is a phenomenon called **global warming**. This phenomenon is one contributing factor to changes in long-term weather patterns known as **climate change**.
