Stuttering occurs when the natural flow of speech is interrupted. When the child involuntarily prolongs sounds, is unable to produce certain sounds, or repeats a sound, we can say he or she is at risk for stuttering. Stuttering will usually begin between the ages of three and six.
It is significant that so much carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere because CO 2 is the most important gas for controlling Earthâs temperature. Carbon dioxide, methane, and halocarbons are greenhouse gases that absorb a wide range of energyâincluding infrared energy (heat) emitted by the Earthâand then re-emit it.
Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earthâs greenhouse effect; water vapor accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent. The rest is caused by small particles (aerosols) and minor greenhouse gases like methane.ising concentrations of carbon dioxide are warming the atmosphere. The increased temperature results in higher evaporation rates and a wetter atmosphere, which leads to a vicious cycle of further warming. (Photograph Â©2011 Patrick Wilken.
