Every Monday Great Lakes Echo runs video clips of random people answering questions that experts believe environmentally literate citizens should understand. In the last clip an expert explains the correct answers.

This week’s question is “What is the greenhouse effect?”

 

This week’s expert is Jeff Andresen, the climatologist for the state of Michigan and an associate professor of geography at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich.

Andresen specializes in agricultural meteorology and applied climatology.

    Each summer has been hotter and hotter, so it sure is fortunate that man-made greenhouse gases aren’t contributing to global warming. It’s lucky that we have Republicans and their Fox News channel to set us straight, eh? Can you imagine how bad it would be if scientists were right?
