How is the greenhouse effect increasing and what are its effects?

The greenhouse effect is increasing because humans continue to add additional carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, chiefly by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and so the higher the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide the greater the greenhouse effect. The direct effect of this is global warming. The follow-on effects include rising sea levels and climate change.
Another AnswerThere is a great deal of issues still unknown in this very new science area. For example, it is quite possible that levels of CO2 over 100 PPM have almost no affect on temperature increases. We are also seeing NASA data to suggest that there is far less actual retention of heat then models projected. Sea level rise has also slowed to it's lowest levels in thousands of years according to NASA. We may well see less then 8 inches of rise in the next hundred years. The bottom line answer to your question is we still are trying to find out the answers.Wiki User

Is venus expiriences an intense greenhouse effects?
yes Venus experiences the greenhouse effect
How is Humankind contributing to the Negation of the Green House Effect?
Heads Up, Dared to Prove Otherwise: "Too little, Too late." We are not negating the greenhouse effect. In fact we are increasing its effect by adding more greenhouse gases to the mix. We now have an 'accelerated' greenhouse effect.
Effects of carbon dioxide on stratopheric ozone depletion?
Carbon dioxide as we know is a greenhouse gas. It causes greenhouse effect. That effect causes depletion of ozone.
What would be the effects of eliminating the greenhouse effect?
The earth would freeze. The normal greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect is now causing global warming and climate change.
How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
What is the atmosphere effects?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What are effects that atmospheres have on planets?
greenhouse effect
Is venus expiriences an intense greenhouse effects?
yes Venus experiences the greenhouse effect
What would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
Which would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
Increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
Harmul effect of green house effect?
The harmful effects of greenhouse effect are:Global warmingOzone depletionFloods.
What is the other name for the greenhouse effect?
There really is no other term for the effect of greenhouse gases besides the greenhouse effect.Other associated terms for what the effects cause include:Global WarmingGlobal Climate ChangeClimate ChangeGreenhouse Gas Effect
What heat is caused by the greenhouse effect?
Global warming in the atmosphere is the heat caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases produced by industrial factories are the main causes of greenhouse effects.

Are all regions on earth experiencing effects from the greenhouse effect?
Yes.
What planet has an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect?
EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
Is the greenhouse effect increasing sea levels?
The natural greenhouse effect is not raising sea levels, but the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming, is. The warmer atmosphere is melting glaciers and expanding the water in the oceans, so sea levels are rising.
