地球は太陽からのエネルギーで暖められ、暖められた地球からも熱が放射されます。
大気に含まれる二酸化炭素などの温室効果ガスは、この熱の一部を吸収し、再び地表に戻しています。これを再放射と言います。そのおかげで、地球の平均気温は15℃となり、人間をはじめ生物が生きるのに適した環境が保たれているのです。本来、温室効果ガスは無くてはならないものです。しかし、温室効果ガスは増えすぎると地球はどんどん暖かくなってしまいます。
温暖化による影響は、いろいろなところに出てきています。
平均海面水位 － 海水面の平均は２０世紀の間に１０～20ｃｍも上昇しました。
氷河 － 20世紀後半、地球上の多くの氷河は大幅に後退しました。 20世紀は、地球規模の氷河後退が起こり始めた分岐点です。特に過去20年間はさらに氷床の融解が促進されました。NASAの衛星調査によると、アンデス、ヒマラヤ、アルプス、ピレネーズで、この10年間に大幅な氷河の縮小が見られました。全氷河のうちで、かなりの部分が消失する可能性があるという報告もあります。
The Earth is warmed by energy from the Sun, and the heat is eradiated from the warmed Earth. A part of the heat is absorbed by greenhouse gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere, and returned to the land surface again. This is called reradiation. Average air temperature is kept at 15 degree with the reradiation, making it possible for living organism including human to live. In the nature of things greenhouse gases are indispensable. However, if greenhouse gases increase, the Earth gets warmer and warmer.
Various impacts are seen by the global warming.
Average sea level: Average sea level rose 10-20cm during the 20th century.
Glaciers: Many glaciers on the Earth considerably retreated in the last half of the 20th century. 20th century is a turning point that glaciers started to retreat globally. Especially for the past two decades ice sheets have increasingly melt. According to NASA's satellite investigation glaciers at the Andes, Himalaya, Alpine and Pyrenees are significantly shrank over the past decade. Some reports say that a large extent of all glaciers may disappear.

The Earth is warmed by energy from the Sun, and the heat is also reradiated from the warmed Earth. A part of the heat is absorbed by greenhouse gases such as CO2 in the atmosphere, and returned to the land surface again. This is called reradiation. Thanks to it average temperature of the Earth is kept at 15 degrees, making it possible for living organism including human being to live. In nature greenhouse gases are indispensable. However, if greenhouse gases increase, the Earth gets warmer and warmer.

Good Job!
Thank you very much for your correction.
