    Greenhouse Gasses

    The atmosphere of Venus is mostly carbon dioxide, which is one of the reasons why it's over 400 degrees Fahreinheit on the surface. The climate on Earth is heavily influenced by the makeup of our atmosphere, having the right amount of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and other gasses is essential to life as we know it. Nick and Ellie talk about the greenhouse effect and why we need it, and what could happen if our atmospheric equilibrium is disrupted. Like our podcast?
