Since the dawn of the industrial age, the global economy has become increasingly dependent on the use of fossil fuels to power our businesses and our way of life. We share the growing concern that, if left unchecked, these emissions will continue to alter the atmosphere and the climate, disrupting human settlements around the globe and threatening human and natural ecosystems.
Expected ConsequencesThe expected consequences of greenhouse gas emissions include:The negative effects include:
The consequences of an enhanced greenhouse effect are that the earth is warming, globally. This global warming has many predicted consequences such as sea levels rising from the melting of ice caps and glaciers. Sea-level rise will threaten the survival of Pacific nations and will flood many coastal areas around the world. Weather events (storms, floods, droughts, tornadoes etc) will become more severe and more frequent.
Greenhouse gas emissions cause a destruction of the atmosphere. It is because of these gases that there have been reports of global warming.
A runaway greenhouse effect, such as happened on the planet Venus, would make the planet so hot that nothing would survive. The temperature on Venus is now 460 C.
Excess greenhouse gases mean that more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
venus
No. A gross example is Venus, which has a runaway greenhouse effect. The surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead.
Venus. Similar to Earth in many ways, a runaway greenhouse effect is thought responsible for its 900°F (480°C) surface temperature.
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation) leads to global warming and climate change.(There is also the very dangerous runaway greenhouse effect that happened on Venus.)
NO.
Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect that has boiled its oceans dry.
venus
Venus is the hot planet with the runaway greenhouse effect. its oceans have boiled dry.
Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect. Its seas have now boiled dry!
Only Venus and Earth have a greenhouse effect because they have a substantial atmosphere. Venus actually has a runaway greenhouse effect causing its surface temperatures to rise to 450 Celsius.
No. A gross example is Venus, which has a runaway greenhouse effect. The surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead.
Venus. Similar to Earth in many ways, a runaway greenhouse effect is thought responsible for its 900°F (480°C) surface temperature.
You could have a runaway greenhouse effect, where positive feedbacks increase so rapidly that the temperature rises too fast and too high to control. Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, and the oceans have boiled dry and the ground temperature is about 464 °C (867°F).
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
VENUS
The runaway greenhouse effect on Venus occurred when carbon dioxide (CO2) levels got so high that it caused an extreme temperature rise. Venus used to have oceans, but these have all boiled dry.
