The enhanced greenhouse effect, the one that is seriously warming the planet, is being caused by the rapid addition of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. We release this extra carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuel, where the CO2 has been secured away since the coal and oil was formed, millions of years ago. We burn fossil fuel in industry, transport, and generating electricity.
A sustainable energy source (solar, hydro, wind, wave, tide, geothermal or sustainable biofuel) can be used to generate electricity without releasing this extra greenhouse gas.
When we get all our electricity from sustainable, renewable sources, then we can stop burning fossil fuels. We can run our vehicles, our factories and our homes using green electricity. This will be a solution to the greenhouse effect, though it will take many years for the carbon dioxide levels to come down to their previous levels.

∙ 11y agoUnfortunately, humans have failed to implement timely solutions concerning greenhouse gas emissions. At present there is still a serious lack of effort to mitigate the changes we are introducing to our environment.
Some necessary solutions would be to significantly reduce our dependence on coal and oil--NOT just imports, but to switch to alternatives such as solar, wind, geothermal, etc. Another would be greater investment in public transportation systems and high speed rail.

∙ 10y agoUsing one of the sources of renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) will reduce the greenhouse effect because these are all pollution free. They emit no greenhouse gases, unlike fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which is the most common way of generating electricity today.

The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
Where does the greenhouse effect the ozone layer the most?
The greenhouse effect the ozone at the poles. It is the maximum at the poles.
Is the enhanced greenhouse effect essential for life on earth?
The greenhouse effect is essential to life on earth. The enhanced greenhouse effect is not. In fact if it is enhanced too quickly it can be harmful to life.
Where in space does the greenhouse effect occur?
The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
Research the greenhouse effect on the internet How much has the average temperature risen Pose possible solutions to the greenhouse effect If none are given in the article think of some on your own?
A few suggestions to answer your question:Search for the meaning of the greenhouse effect. Make sure you understand the natural effect, and the enhanced greenhouse effect.Find out how much the temperature has risen since global warming began at the start of the Industrial Revolution.Find possible solutions to the greenhouse effect, by governments and by individuals
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
When was Greenhouse Solutions with Sustainable Energy created?
Greenhouse Solutions with Sustainable Energy was created in 2007.
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
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".
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
How do you use The greenhouse effect in a sentence?
the greenhouse effect is a global phenomenon.
What do humans do to effect the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect keeps us all warm enough for life.The enhanced greenhouse effect causes global warming.
When did the Greenhouse effect start?
The Greenhouse effect started long before humans were on Earth. The Greenhouse effect is only intensified by the presence of humans.
The effect is the process by which gases in the atmosphere trap heat?
The greenhouse effect
How is the greenhouse effect caused on a molecular level?
The greenhouse effect is caused on a molecular level by the greenhouse gases combing, thus forming the greenhouse effect and that's what causes it to be on a molecular level.
