No, carbon dioxide (CO2) is NOT an effect of the greenhouse effect. It is one of the causes. With other greenhouse gases it is responsible for the natural greenhouse effect, and the extra levels of CO2 from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is why global warming is happening.

What effect does carbon dioxide contribute to?
The Greenhouse effect.
What is carbon dioxide in the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas. It also causes global warming.
Is the main atmospheric gas responsible for the greenhouse effect carbon dioxide?
The normal greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm enough for life is caused largely by water vapour, with a small effect from carbon dioxide and methane.However, the greenhouse gas responsible for the present enhanced greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide, yes.
How is cabron dixiode related to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide helps the greenhouse in one way. Plants in the greenhouse needs carbon dioxide to grow.
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.
Does the greenhouse effect increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
No. The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm. Extra carbon dioxide added to it is causing global warming.
How might the photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect?
Photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect. This is because plants use carbon dioxide and turns it into oxygen instead. Carbon dioxide is causing the greenhouse effect.
How do trees help slow down greenhouse effect?
Trees help to slow down greenhouse effect as they absorb carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is a major green house gas and can cause greenhouse effect.
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. When we increase its atmospheric concentration, as we do by burning fossil fuels, it causes an enhanced greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.
How does carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses contribute the greenhouse effect?
it contributes by creating a lot of them that is why they make the greenhouse effect
Why is it important for the earth to have some carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?
The natural greenhouse effect (helped by carbon dioxide) keeps the earth warm.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (from too much carbon dioxide) is causing global warming.
