because greenhouse gasses prevent heat which is received from the sun from being radiated out into space.

(note the increase of these gasses is more likely caused by an increase in medium sized mammals rather that the burning of fuel due to the fact that animals not only generate heat but also one dog over its lifespan provides as much of these gasses as two suvs over their entire use)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Australian Academy of science ,the enhanced greenhouse effect and climate change. the disruption to earth's climate equilibrium caused by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases has led to an increase in the global average surface temperature . The process is called the enhanced greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gasses prevent heat which is received from the sun from being radiated out into space.
