Carbondioxide is a warmer gas which can be prooved by saying that millions of years ago the ice sheets that were covering the land melted due to lare increase in carbon dioxide from volcanic eruptions .as this gas is warmer it melted away the ice .but now as we are cutting more and more trees ,the carbon dioxide levels are increasing and thus it is causing global warming.

Are scientist sure that the greenhouse effect causes warming of air?
Yes, all scientists accept the premise that the greenhouse effect keeps the planet warm. This has been happening since life began. Most scientists are confident that the enhanced greenhouse effect, where we have increased the amount of greenhouse gas in the air, is causing global warming.
Which effect is responsible for global warming?
The enhanced greenhouse effect in our atmosphere is believed to be causing global warming.
What planet has the temperature of its atmosphere increased by the green house effect?
The atmospheric gas which is increasing the greenhouse effect is Carbon Dioxide (CO2).A:Several gases cause the natural greenhouse effect that has maintained the temperature of the earth at a comfortable level, suitable for human existence. They include water vapour and carbon dioxide. What is known as the enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the increased concentration of carbon dioxide that results from human activity. The enhanced greenhouse effect is what is causing global average temperatures to rise, with potentially serious consequences for the environment and human society. Greenhouse gases should not be thought of in the same way as layers of blankets, with one blanket for water vapour, one for carbon dioxide and so on, simply adding to each other. They do not work that way. For example, water vapour is only found in the lower atmosphere, and much heat is lost through convection currents that carry warmth to the upper atmosphere where it is the radiated and lost. Carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere does block some of this radiation. Even in the lower atmosphere, carbon dioxide blocks infrared radiation at different wavelengths than does water vapour. So it is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide that has climate scientists most worried.
How do you think land clearing contributes to the enhanced greenhouse effect?
Land clearing destroys trees that used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their roots, trunks and branches. So land clearing means there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere adding to the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
A rise in the Earth surface temperature due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is called?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What is the enhanced greenhouse effect and who caused it?
The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is the increased heat in the atmosphere. It is caused largely by humans burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests. Both these activities Lead to more carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere.
What effect is enhanced on earth with increased amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
An increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere results in an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. A decrease usually results in a decreased concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
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.
Instruments used by scientists to enhance the senses?
what instrument is used to enhanced smelling
What does anhanced mean?
Enhanced means that something is intensified, increased, improved quality.
What does enhanced mean?
It can be that something has been improved or had its quality increased. Yes, I conqeur.
What can one purchase from the online store Enhanced Diamonds?
At the online store 'Enhanced-Diamonds' one can purchase a number of diamond products including rings and stand alone diamonds. They are enhanced for increased clarity.
When there are increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it is causing a what of the earth's atmosphere?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Are scientist sure that the greenhouse effect causes warming of air?
Yes, all scientists accept the premise that the greenhouse effect keeps the planet warm. This has been happening since life began. Most scientists are confident that the enhanced greenhouse effect, where we have increased the amount of greenhouse gas in the air, is causing global warming.
The enhanced greenhouse effect is principally caused by the build up of what gases in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide and methane.
Which effect is responsible for global warming?
The enhanced greenhouse effect in our atmosphere is believed to be causing global warming.
What can you use to measure the damage of a tornado?
Scientists use damage to rated tornadoes on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale.
