Does human population have an effect on the amount of greenhouse gases emitted?

Humans have been burning fossil fuels since the beginning of the Industrial Age (1750s). This releases long-held carbon dioxide that has been sequestered away for 300 thousand years. This extra greenhouse gas is changing the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is getting warmer and warmer.

The greenhouse effect might be caused by the increase of?
The greenhouse effect is caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases like methane emitted into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Production of greenhouse gasses?
The production of greenhouse gasses is harmful to the environment, causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The gases emitted include methane and carbon dioxide.
Why is ethanol a greenhouse gas?
Ethanol is a liquid at normal ambient temperatures and is not a greenhouse gas. However, when ethanol is used as a fuel in a vehicle, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is emitted. CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas in that as it builds up in the atmosphere, it has the same effect as the glass roof of a greenhouse. It allows energy from the sun to enter the earth's atmosphere but prevents some of it from being re-emitted back into space. The net effect is that the temperature begins to rise, just as in a greenhouse.
Does a catalytic converter helps to reduce the greenhouse effect?
As the catalytic converter emits CO2 and H2O in the air. The gasses absorbe infra red radiation emitted by the earth and re-radiate the energy as heat back towards the earth. So the more CO2 and H2O emitted to the air the more heat there will be. So no, the catalytic converter does not help reduce the greenhouse effect.
What is bar graph for greenhouse effect?
The answer will depend on what aspect of the greenhouse effect you wish to show. The pie could represent the mass of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, or their volumes, or the amount of temperature change that can be attributed to each of the gases.

What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
Why is ethanol a greenhouse gas?
Ethanol is a liquid at normal ambient temperatures and is not a greenhouse gas. However, when ethanol is used as a fuel in a vehicle, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is emitted. CO2 is considered a greenhouse gas in that as it builds up in the atmosphere, it has the same effect as the glass roof of a greenhouse. It allows energy from the sun to enter the earth's atmosphere but prevents some of it from being re-emitted back into space. The net effect is that the temperature begins to rise, just as in a greenhouse.
What type of energy drives the greenhouse effect?
Heat energy drives greenhouse effect. Huge amount of heat energy is trapped at a surface.
What type of radiation is trapped on earth's surface by the greenhouse effect?
terestrial

What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
Are scientist sure that the greenhouse effect causes warming of air?
Yes, all scientists accept the premise that the greenhouse effect keeps the planet warm. This has been happening since life began. Most scientists are confident that the enhanced greenhouse effect, where we have increased the amount of greenhouse gas in the air, is causing global warming.
