Why is the world warming up?

Per qué el món s'està escalfant?
00:06
Let's think of Earth for just a moment as a greenhouse.

Per un moment, pensem en la Terra com si fos un hivernacle.
00:10
Every second, a huge amount of energy smashes into our greenhouse.

Cada segon, una gran quantitat d'energia impacta contra el nostre hivernacle.
00:16
Our atmosphere, the glass roof and walls,
4

3562
L'atmosfera, les parets i el sostre de vidre,
00:20
reflects some of that energy,
5

reflecteixen part d'aquesta energia,
00:22
but most of it passes right through and heats everything up.

però la majoria travessa i ho escalfa tot.
00:27
Much of that heat used to escape back into space,
7

2516
Molta d'aquesta calor solia escapar novament a l'espai
00:29
keeping us at a stable, warm temperature.

mantenint-nos en una temperatura acollidora i estable.
00:33
But then something changed.

Però llavors quelcom va canviar.
00:36
Humans began to spew enough carbon dioxide to fill billions of greenhouses each day.
10
36110
5246
Els humans van llençar suficient diòxid de carboni per omplir bilions d'hivernacles.
00:42
What does all that greenhouse gas do?
11

2616
Què fa tot aquest gas d'efecte hivernacle?
00:45
It makes the glass of our greenhouse thicker.
12

Fa que el vidre del nostre hivernacle sigui més gruixut.
00:48
Thicker glass means heat escapes into space much more slowly.
13
48760
3656
Un vidre més gruixut vol dir que la calor escapa més lentament a l'espai.
00:52
And don't forget, energy from the sun
14

1776
I cal no oblidar que l'energia del sol
00:54
is still streaming in just as quickly as before.
15

segueix fluint tan ràpidament com abans.
00:57
The result is a planet with temperatures too hot for our liking
16

El resultat és un planeta amb temperatures massa altes pel nostre gust
01:01
and, eventually...

i, amb el temps...
01:03
living.

per a viure-hi.
