year cycle of ice ages in the past. volcanoes have also caused climate changes. for example a worldwide cooling followed the june 1991 explosive eruption of mount pinatubo in the philippines. our ability to calculate the amount of that cooling is very high if the volcanic cloud material amounts and types are measured well. natural climate changes are likely to occur in the future, however the main reason that we are here today in this hearing is that humans are also capable of causing earth climate change. the underlying mechanism is the greenhouse effect, where in certain gases and clouds in the atmosphere surrounding the planet can absorb outgoing planetary infrared radiation. each greenhouse gas selectively absorbs infrared radiation at specific wavelengths and this signature can be seen by earth orbiting satellites and was indeed seen as long ago as 1972. the natural greenhouse effect has been enhanced by the increased amounts of greenhouse gases in the air due to human activities. these increases have occurred in a
