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.

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.


What is the greenhouse effect called?

the green house effect called global warming,and the global warming is increasing day-by-day.


Where is greenhouse effect happening?

It is affecting the whole globe's climate now, especially the north and south poles.


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.


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.
