When harmful chemicals (for example: carbon dioxide) enter the atmosphere it causes the earth's atmosphere to hold in more and more radiation. Which eventually means that it is increasing the global temperature which results in what we call "global warming".

What causes the greenhouse effect and how does it affect earths atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect is caused by greenhouse gases that absorb infrared rays and thereby keep the earth warmer than it otherwise would be. The greenhouse effect is important to life on earth. Without greenhouse gases, there would be global cooling and life as we know it would no longer be possible. With increased levels of greenhouse gases, there is global warming and undesirable climate change.
