No, carbon dioxide (CO2) is NOT an effect of the greenhouse effect. It is one of the causes. With other greenhouse gases it is responsible for the natural greenhouse effect, and the extra levels of CO2 from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is why global warming is happening.

What is carbon dioxide in the greenhouse effect?

Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas. It also causes global warming.


Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?

Yes, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat from the Earth's surface, leading to a warming effect known as global warming.


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.


Does the greenhouse effect increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

No. The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm. Extra carbon dioxide added to it is causing global warming.


How is cabron dixiode related to the greenhouse effect?

Carbon dioxide helps the greenhouse in one way. Plants in the greenhouse needs carbon dioxide to grow.


How might the photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect?

Photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect. This is because plants use carbon dioxide and turns it into oxygen instead. Carbon dioxide is causing the greenhouse effect.


How do trees help slow down greenhouse effect?

Trees help to slow down greenhouse effect as they absorb carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is a major green house gas and can cause greenhouse effect.


Why is it important for earth to have some carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?

The natural greenhouse effect (helped by carbon dioxide) keeps the earth warm.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (from too much carbon dioxide) is causing global warming.


In the greenhouse effect what absorbs earth heat?

carbon dioxide


Does carbon dioxide cause the greenhouse effect on the world?

Yes. Carbon dioxide, along with water vapour and other greenhouse gases hold heat in the atmosphere. This greenhouse effect means that the earth is warm enough for life.


What do plants do to lessen the greenhouse effect?

Plants help lessen the greenhouse effect by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. They store this carbon in their biomass, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Additionally, plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which helps to balance the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.


What effect is enhanced on earth with increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?

An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
