The greenhouse effect is making the earth warmer colder or windier?

The greenhouse effect is making the Earth warmer overall. This however is not apparent to the casual local observer as the changing weather patterns resulting from the same overall warming may make some areas warmer, some colder, some wetter and some drier.

∙ 10y agoThe greenhouse effect, which has kept us comfortably warm for millions of years is warming since the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago. We began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and this has been releasing carbon dioxide emissions. We now have an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

∙ 10y agoThe greenhouse effect is not slowing down. In fact it is increasing. We now have an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

How is the rainforest related to the greenhouse effect?
The rainforest makes clean air "eating" the carbon dixdode ( can't spell it) and making the greenhouse less dangerous but people are destroying the rainforest this makes the greenhouse more dangerous for us.
What is the natural greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere and how humans might be contributing to its effect?
Natural greenhouse effect is good because it keeps the Earth warm and habitable using natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although when there is a "build-up" of these gases, the sun's energy (from sunlight) is trapped between the atmosphere and Earth's surface allowing energy to enter but making it extremely difficult to get out. Thus resulting in a warmer than normal Earth.
What will a runaway greenhouse effect do to the Earth?
the greenhouse effect is an increase in the average temperature of the earth "Greenhouse gases" such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, ozone and methane, slow the escape of heat from earth's atmosphere.
What is the simplest definition of the greenhouse effect?
Gases in the atmosphere trap the sun’s warmth -apex
Is the greenhouse effect good or bad?
If there was no natural greenhouse effect we would all be frozen to death. We need the heat that is trapped by the greenhouse gases to keep us warm and alive. But the increasing amount of methane and carbon dioxide is causing an accelerated or enhanced greenhouse effect, lifting the temperature of the earth and causing global warming. Global warming is then causing climate change. So some greenhouse effect is good. Too much is certainly bad. So technically, the Greenhouse effect is good but also bad.
The Greenhouse Effect is making the earth what?
Greenhouse effect is making the earth hot as we all know that the whole greenhouse is covered with glass and glass traps the sun rays and heat in it and similar is the condition of the earth as it also traps the heat in it and this is the reason it is becoming hot and called as greenhouse effect.
How has the greenhouse effect affected our climate?
The enhanced greenhouse effect is happening because we are adding additional carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trap in heat from the sun making the earth warmer.
Why does temperature rise?
The enhanced greenhouse effect is making air temperatures rise.
How is the greenhouse effect affecting earth's energy balance?
The greenhouse effect prevents heat escaping into space. Increased greenhouse gas levels means that more heat is retained. This affects the balance by making the earth warmer.
How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise
Why doesVenus have the hotest surface of all the planets?
It's "greenhouse" effect keeps all the sunlight it making it hot.
How can the greenhouse effect be controlled?
It can't, there is little we can do for a while now. we just need to stop making things worse.
How is the rainforest related to the greenhouse effect?
The rainforest makes clean air "eating" the carbon dixdode ( can't spell it) and making the greenhouse less dangerous but people are destroying the rainforest this makes the greenhouse more dangerous for us.
What greenhouse gases are being put in the atmosphere that is causing the US to be warmer?
Greenhouse gases, specifically:Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuelsMethane from cattleCFCs from refrigerantsare contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect that is making the world, as well as the US warmer.
Who is being affected by the greenhouse effect?
All life as it could not exist without the natural greenhouse effect which has kept the planet warm for millions of years.All life now is being affected by the enhanced greenhouse effect, which is caused by the extra greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere for the past 250 years, mostly by humans burning fossil fuels. This is leading to global warming, making the earth warmer, and this warming is causing climate change.
What are the possible implications of the greenhouse effect on land and water?
There is a natural greenhouse effect, supported by the carbon and water cycles, which keeps the land and water warm. Without this, the earth would be too cold for life. However, the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect is causing global warming. This is making the land and water much hotter, and all this extra energy is causing climate change.
How are we affected by the greenhouse effect?
We are affected because fossil fuels and deforestation are making the world hotter, with many catastrophic events predicted.
