Can green house effect harm people?

Answer 1

The normal greenhouse effect does nothing to harm our health. It keeps the earth warm enough for life, and it has done that for thousands of years.

The enhanced greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming, which is causing climate change, will have serious effects on our health.

• increased numbers of heat waves causing thousands of deaths, especially the old, the very young, and the sick.
• the spread of malaria mosquitoes, as the countries grow warmer.

Answer 2

The greenhouse effect exists naturally and maintains the world's temperature at a comfortable level. However, an increased greenhouse effect resulting from human activity, is predicted to result in global warming and climate change. It is global warming and climate change that are seen by climate scientists as potentially harmful to human existence.

Global warming sound so benign. Who would not want warmer winters and balmy summer days? But the long-term global trend to higher average temperatures poses a real risk to our economic and social well-being, as well as to the native creatures with which we share the planet.

Climate change is causing sea levels to rise. Not by much so far, but this is only the start. Higher sea levels, combined with the greater storm surges associated with climate change, will force people to abandon some prestige coastal properties. The inundation of New Orleans should have been a wake-up call, but many see this as a special case with no relevance elsewhere. Rich agricultural coastal flood plains will become salinated and unproductive.

Floods will become more frequent and more severe in some areas, while droughts will similarly become more frequent and more severe in others. Analysis of hurricane activity shows that severe hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more destructive, as a result of increased atmospheric thermal energy. Frequent storm damage to properties will cause insurance premiums to rise until some can no longer even afford to insure their houses.

Wildlife will suffer from loss of appropriate habitat and from heat stress. Some corals will die back as sea levels rise and they no longer receive sufficient sunlight, while others will be bleached by the rising temperatures and acidity.

Answer 3

Yes, it is a real problem. The ordinary greenhouse effect keeps the earth comfortably warm, but the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect is causing global warming. If global warming is not stopped the future of the human race is at stake.

Answer 4

Yes . the more green house gasses there are the lees oxygen there is for us breath
