Is it true that increasing levels of the greenhouse gases could make the earth cooler?

No, increasing levels of greenhouse gases trap more of the sun's heat in the atmosphere, so the earth is getting warmer. There may be parts that get cooler for a time, for example, the British Isles, if the warm Gulf Stream stops, but, in general, the earth will continue to get warmer.

What is increasing the risk of global warming?
the risk of global warming is being increased by the overpopulation.Reason why i am saying this is because the overpopulation leads to the deforestation which in turns causes the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a greenhouse gas) because trees that could have absorbed it have been cut off.
Does the greenhouse effect have a positive or negative effect on us?
The greenhouse effect was made to have a positive effect, but human activities have made it a negative one. a) The greenhouse effect was made to keep the Earth's average temperature (14oC or 57oF) the same. The atmosphere has small amounts of greenhouse gases to trap heat and warm the Earth. Without this greenhouse effect, the Earth's temperature could be as low as -18oC (-0.4oF). So the greenhouse effect assures us we won't freeze to death. b) On the negative side, this Greenhouse effect slowly but steadily increases the temperature of the world! Our Earth is getting hotter and hotter every year. Ice in the North is melting and the polar bears and other dwellers of the cold are losing their homes quickly. The greenhouse effect WAS supposed to simply keep the Earth at the same temperature. But carbon dioxide (CO2) levels and other greenhouse gases are increasing in the ozone layer and trap more heat because we have invented the car, burned fossil fuels in factories, burned wood as campfires, and cut down the forests. As we continue to release these gases, the Earth will rapidly get hotter.
What would happen if the greenhouse gas levels doubled?
It depends on which greenhouse gas doubled its concentration. Water vapour is the most plentiful greenhouse gas, but only remains in the atmosphere for a few days and precipitation will prevent its concentration from doubling. Carbon dioxide levels have indeed increased by 35 per cent since pre-industrial times and the rate of increase in concentration is growing rapidly, so in the absence of any action at all, would certainly double. The present concentration is just over 380 parts per million (ppm), and doubling this to around 760 ppm would be disastrous. Long before this level was reached, the governments of the world would place our global economy on a war footing and mandate a zero-carbon economy no matter what the pain caused by this. Clearly, we never wish to get to the point that this action became necessary. Methane levels have also increased since pre-industrial times but the rate of increase in concentration is growing more slowly. The disaster that could result from doubling atmospheric methane concentrations means that it could never be allowed to happen. If greenhouse gas levels reach the point where there is a 'runaway greenhouse effect' because of positive feedback resulting from higher temperatures, then there will no longer be any action that we can take to prevent its continuance. We would simply have to accept the consequences.
How do greenhouse gases affect Earth environment?
Greenhouse gases (GHG) allows sun radiation to penetrate and reach earth but are insulators to heat to move through into outer space. According GHG contribute to global warming. This global warming could lead to more snow melt down that lead to rise of water levels on earth and possible sinking of low level earth areas under water.
What could you do to make yeast dough more slowly?
Place it in a cooler enviroment.
What are the release dates for The Daily Orbit - 2012 Snowfall Could Diminish Due to Increasing CO2 Levels 1-124?
The Daily Orbit - 2012 Snowfall Could Diminish Due to Increasing CO2 Levels 1-124 was released on: USA: 25 February 2013
Why could a rapid increase in global ocean levels be a disaster for coral reef ecosystems?
A rapid increase of global ocean levels can be a disaster to coral reef ecosystems because they live in warm, calm water with lots of sunlight, and if the water could become cooler from the levels of water it could kill the coral reef.

Why are methane and carbon dioxide called greenhouse gases Why is the atmospheric presence of greenhouse gases increasing?
The GHG gases are called that name as they enhance the retention of solar heat in the Earth'ds atmosphere.Carbon dioxide is increasing because we burn fossil fuels for energy while reducing the amount of plant and forest cover that could remove it from the atmosphere. Methane is increasing because the farming practices around ruminants release digestive gases rich in methane. In addition the heating from the warmer air is releasing methane from permafrost and undersea methane hydrates..
Could there be a leakage of motor oil from a car's oil cooler?
It can leak at the connections or the cooler itself could have a hole in it.
What if you did not have greenhouse gas?
If there were no greenhouse gases the earth could not support life. Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring and allow heat to be retained within the atmosphere.
Where could one purchase greenhouse supplies?
One can purchase greenhouse supplies from a variety of different retailers. One can purchase greenhouse supplies from websites such as FarmTek, Greenhouse Megastore, and Hummert International.
Are greenhouse gases a good thing?
The natural greenhouse effect means that the earth is warm enough for life because of the greenhouse gases. This is a good thing. But too much greenhouse gas, which is happening now because we are still burning fossil fuels and have cut down too many forests, is causing Global Warming and climate change.A:Yes and no. Enough greenhouse gases would make Earth warm and comfortable for us to live. Too much would cause much of what we love to slowly melt, like homes bordering the beaches, because glaciers and ice caps are melting and increasing sea levels.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
Why is the greenhouse effect nessarcy?
Without the greenhouse effect we would be a cold dead planet. No life could exist.
Is there a rosacea diet?
Rosacea is caused by inflammation and doesn't cause black or white heads. Increasing B vitamins, decreasing fat, increasing fiber and having hormone levels checked can help. Also, determining if there is a food allergy could also be important.
Is there something you can do to stop global warming completely?
Stop adding carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. To do this we have to move entirely to renewable energy and stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Actually that might not even be enough. It might be necessary to reduce the levels of greenhouse gases from their current levels.A:There are steps that we could take to mitigate the warming. We could slow the addition of CO2, sulfur oxides, methane, and some other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. This would be expensive but could lower current levels. Also, we have to remember that Earth has cycled in and out of ice ages many times before human activity became a factor. So, there are some natural phenomena affecting global temperatures, that we have no control over. To name a few: Earth's asymmetric orbit, varying levels of solar energy, and volcanic activity. There are others.
