• To absorb IR energy, molecular vibrations must change the dipole moment of the molecule.
• All molecules with three or more atoms meet this criterion and are IR absorbers.
• The trace gases in Earth’s atmosphere contain many species that absorb and re-emit IR.

Electromagnetic radiation and planetary energy balanceSince the Industrial Revolution, burning fossil fuels has addedlarge amounts of greenhouse gases to Earth's atmosphere.
The concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide is increasing.
The Earth’s temperature increases as more carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere.
Increasing temperature and carbon dioxide bring about changes in the Earth’s climate.
