What do you think would happen to the earth if there was an increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

Each small increase in greenhouse gases would contribute to global warming. Global warming contributes to climate change, which includes more extreme weather events, including hurricanes and, surprisingly, localised cooling.

∙ 10y agoAn increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere means that the earth would get warmer, because greenhouse gases prevent heat leaving the atmosphere.
This is actually happening.
Evidence of this is increased temperatures in the north and south poles where ice shelves are breaking down and melting. This is impacting on the world's water table and has a noticeable impact on polar life.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and more of it in the atmosphere will make the earth warmer. This is what we are doing by continuing to burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

∙ 7y agoTrue. it would get a lot more warmer.

What would happen if more forests were cut down?
The amount of CO2 would in the atmosphere would increase and by the way my name is ANGEL HARPER, lol
What will happen to the air and climate from deforestation?
Deforestation, the cutting down of forests, means that the trees no longer remove carbon dioxide from the air, through photosynthesis. More carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere means increased warming. This warming is causing the climate to change.
What will most likely happen if the amount of enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is increased?
The reaction will speed up.
What might happen to the earth if the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere doubles and name to possible outcomes?
If the amount of greenhouse gases in the air continue to increase global warming will become worse and eventually become so bad that all the ice in the north and south pole and other ares in the world will melt causing severe flooding to the world. To stop this from happening people should be more careful about the amount of energy and fuels they use in a day and perhaps try recycling, walking, cycling taking public transport to decrease the amount of fuels burned.
What would happen to the earth if you did not have these greenhouses gases in the atmosphere?
The earth would be too cold for life. Greenhouse gases have been essential for life on this planet, and have kept Earth warm for millions of years.
What would happen to global temperatures if the amount of greenhouse gases increased or decreased?
increased = Hotter Decreased = Coler
What would happen if the amount of molecules in earth's atmosphere doubled?
They would create a double greenhouse effect
Will increased co2 levels cause climate to cool?
No, in fact, the opposite will happen. Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere are producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Where does the greenhouse effect happen?
The greenhouse effect happens all over the world because it takes place in the atmosphere.
What would happen if the amount of greenhouse gases were reduced?
If the amount of greenhouse gases were reduced, then the temperature of the earth would cool.
What would happen to humans if greenhouse gases increased?
It would get very hot because the heat that the sun will shine on us will be stuck in side the atmosphere. After a year The World would be a brown giant ball.
How do greenhouse gases warm the lower atmosphere?
Greenhouse gasses harm the Earth because they pollute the air and makes our atmosphere thinner. When that happens, it is letting more and more heat in our Earth that drought will happen and water will be lost.
What would happen if more forests were cut down?
The amount of CO2 would in the atmosphere would increase and by the way my name is ANGEL HARPER, lol
What would happen to the global climate if there were a dramatic decrease in greenhouse gases trapped in the atmosphere?
The climate would start cooling.
What would happen if greenhouse gases increased?
The air will turn warmer, because if greenhouse gases increase (which they are), less heat energy will be able to leave Earth, so the temperature rises.
What will happen to the air and climate from deforestation?
Deforestation, the cutting down of forests, means that the trees no longer remove carbon dioxide from the air, through photosynthesis. More carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, in the atmosphere means increased warming. This warming is causing the climate to change.
What will happen if you have more carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. More of it in the earth's atmosphere means that more heat will be retained. This will, indeed is, causing global warming.
