What would be the effects of eliminating the greenhouse effect?
The earth would freeze. The normal greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect is now causing global warming and climate change.
How does the greenhouse effect affect farmers?
The greenhouse effect does not affect farmers in any way. The earth has normal warming and cooling periods. Farmers adapt to the normal climate changes.
How has the greenhouse effect affected British weather?
The normal greenhouse effect keeps Britain warm (with help from the Gulf Stream). The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming and climate change. This is changing weather patterns leading to heat waves, and different and more extreme weather conditions.
What is the link between the greenhouse effect and industrialization?
The Industrial Revolution, when we first seriously began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), marks the beginning of the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.The normal greenhouse effect has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming and climate change.
Do greenhouse gasses make Earth's atmosphere warmer and if so why?
Greenhouse gasses, so called because of the similarity of their heat retention effect to that of actual greenhouses, cause gradual increase of atmospheric temperature by admitting daytime solar energy but blocking normal, nighttime (rising) heat escape (to outer space) at the upper atmosphere. Normal exchanges of "greenhouse" with non-greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere serve to limit heat retention and thereby stabilize average atmospheric temperatures; but disruption of normal atmosperic gas exhange can become cause for alarm at the prospect of unlimited increase of average atmosperic temperatures.
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.
Does paraffin contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Yes, paraffin is produced from petroleum, a fossil fuel. It contains carbon dioxide from millions of years ago, so when it is burnt it adds to the normal greenhouse effect which has become overwhelmed by all the extra carbon dioxide. The normal greenhouse effect is now warming into the accelerated greenhouse effect.
What is the cause effect and solution of the greenhouse effect?
Normal greenhouse effect:The cause of the normal greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that capture the sun's heat as it radiates back out from the earth.The effect of the normal greenhouse effect is to keep the earth warm enough for life.We do not need a solution for the normal greenhouse effect because it is not a problem for us.Enhanced greenhouse effect:The cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect is the extra greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide and methane, that we have been adding to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, mostly by burning coal, oil and natural gas. Deforestation means that less carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.The effect of the enhanced greenhouse effect is to make the atmosphere warmer, all over the world - global warming.The solution for the enhanced greenhouse effect is for the whole world to use renewable energy sources for industry, transport and electricity, so we can stop burning fossil fuels. If the world plants more forests the trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If we improve our agricultural practices we can reduce the amount of methane put into the atmosphere.
What would be the effects of eliminating the greenhouse effect?

What are the uses of a normal thermometer?
It tells you the temperature (greenhouse; engine; person; etc.).
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.
did the greenhouse effect increase?
Yes. When we started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down the great forests of the worldd (deforestation), the normal greenhouse effect began to change into the accelerated, or enhanced greenhouse effect which we now have.
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.
How does the greenhouse effect affect farmers?
The greenhouse effect does not affect farmers in any way. The earth has normal warming and cooling periods. Farmers adapt to the normal climate changes.
How has the greenhouse effect affected British weather?

The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming and climate change.
What effect is the greenhouse effect having on your planet?
The normal greenhouse effect keeps the planet, and us, warm.the enhanced greenhouse effect, which we are having now, is causing global warming and climate change.This is happening because of our burning of fossil fuels(coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).
