The correct answer is: An increase of UV-B radiation
Global warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2), air pollutants, and greenhouse gases get collected in the atmosphere and absorb sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth's surface. Generally, this radiation would escape into space, but these pollutants can last from years to centuries in the atmosphere, they trap the heat and cause the planet to get hotter.
