I was under the impression that GHG/carbon emissions eroded the ozone layer which allowed more of the suns rays in which is what has heated up the earth since the ozone was like a sunscreen for the earth. That simplified explanation made sense to me.
Basically a scientific reason as to why I should drive a Prius instead of a Hummer.

Basically, it's a greenhouse effect.
It's like a case on your computer.
Your computer will be cooler without the shell around it than it is contained in the case.
The more hummers on the road, the thicker the cloud gets, the more heat gets trapped. Obviously it's not about cars, but, that's the example you used.
It has a resonating effect where, as the problem gets worse, it begins to speed up, and once it starts to speed up, it gets even worse, causing an increase in the speed and on and on we go.
