It is mainly nitrogen and oxygen, with argon, carbon dioxide, and trace gases, and it shields life from solar radiation while enabling weather and climate processes; the ozone in the stratosphere absorbs harmful UV rays for protection against UV. Recent climate reports show CO2 rising, the record levels in hundreds of millennia, and ongoing increases in global temperatures and ocean heat content, alongside reductions in polar ice.
