But this has been exacerbated by human activities which have led to: 1) an increase in greenhouse gas emissions that causes heat to remain trapped within the troposphere, and 2) a decrease in ozone in the stratosphere, causing less sunlight to be absorbed by the ozone layer, resulting in a cooling of the stratosphere.

How to Measure the Square Footage for a House. Draw a diagram of your house's outline. Measure the length of all the exterior walls in the house and round to the nearest inch. The exterior walls will give you the most accurate measurement of the house's size. Record all your measurements on your diagram.Calculate the square footage of each area. Multiply length by width for square and rectangular areas. Multiply base length by height then divide by two to find the square footage of triangular areas. Add these numbers to find the total square footage of the house.Determine which spaces are considered living areas.ultiply length by width for square and rectangular areas.
