Greenhouse gases rise sharply

There has been a sharp increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases. The Annual Greenhouse Gas Index report from a federal agency shows the concentration of both carbon dioxide and methane went up last year. Both gases trap heat in the atmosphere. For four years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been compiling measurements of the gases from all over the world.Steve Heimel, APRN - Anchorage
