Excess greenhouse gas (from the burning of fossil fuels) is carbon dioxide that has been hidden away underground for millions of years. Releasing it now is too much for the natural carbon cycle to deal with, so it is building up in the atmosphere. More and more of it is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What else can I help you with?
What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Why does excess carbon heat the planet?
Excess carbon in the atmosphere traps heat from the sun, creating a greenhouse effect. This leads to a rise in global temperatures, causing climate change and warming the planet.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
Does the sun prevent global warming?
No, the sun does not prevent global warming. It provides the heat originally, and we add the extra greenhouse gases to capture more of it, causing global warming.
How is global warming working?
The greenhouse effect is the trapping of heat by certain gases that have been identified as helping retain heat on our planet. The runaway greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
Does greenhouse effect come under climatic change?
Yes, the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is causing global warming, which is causing climate change.
Why are increased greenhouse gases not good for the earth?
Because it is all but certain that this increase will be extremely detrimental to the Earth's Future. Additional greenhouse gases are causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What are the hazardous greenhouse gases?
Carbon dioxide and methane are the ones causing most of the accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming and leading to climate change.
Do greenhouse gasses help global warming?
They don't help with global warming naturally but the large buildup of greenhouse gases does assist with global warming.
Which effect is responsible for global warming?
The greenhouse effect is primarily responsible for global warming. This process involves the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, leading to a rise in global temperatures. Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have significantly increased the concentration of these gases, intensifying the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.
What traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to the phenomenon of global warming?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global warming.
What does the greenhouse effect help do?
The normal greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is causing global warming.
