What would happen to the climate if Earth took in more energy than it released?
A
The climate would get cooler.
B
The climate would get cooler, then warmer.
C
The climate would get warmer.
D
The climate would not change.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anything that increases or decreases the amount of incoming or outgoing energy disturbs Earth’s radiative equilibrium; global temperatures must rise or fall in response.

Detailed explanation-2: -Main source of energy for earth is sun i.e. solar energy in the form of heat. So if it continues to absorb large amount of heat and emit very less, the earth’s average temperature will increase causing increase in global warming. This will also cause increase in diseases.

Detailed explanation-3: -We already see effects scientists predicted, such as the loss of sea ice, melting glaciers and ice sheets, sea level rise, and more intense heat waves. Scientists predict global temperature increases from human-made greenhouse gases will continue. Severe weather damage will also increase and intensify.

Detailed explanation-4: -Too much of these greenhouse gases can cause Earth’s atmosphere to trap more and more heat. This causes Earth to warm up.

Detailed explanation-5: -When fossil fuels are burned, they release large amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Greenhouse gases trap heat in our atmosphere, causing global warming.
