The correct response is:
Greenhouse gases trap more heat in Earth's atmosphere.
This trend is related to the use of fossil fuels because burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to global warming and rising temperatures, which can cause permafrost to thaw.
