The greenhouse effect is the way certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat rising from the surface of the earth. This warming keeps the earth comfortably warm enough for life. Since the Industrial Revolution, 200 years ago, we have been adding extra gases which are now producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

Do greenhouse gasses help global warming?

They don't help with global warming naturally but the large buildup of greenhouse gases does assist with global warming.


How are greenhouse effect and global warming harmful?

The natural greenhouse effect (helped by carbon dioxide) keeps the earth warm. This is not harmful.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (from too much carbon dioxide) is causing global warming. This is harmful as it is causing climate change, meaning stronger storms, droughts and flooding.

What gases cause global warming and how?

Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.

How does greenhouse gas hurt the environment?

Greenhouse gas hurts the environment by warming up the atmosphere. When Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane are released, they warm up the temperatures, which aids in global warming.


What name is given to warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide?

The name given to warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide is global warming. This is a result of the greenhouse effect, where carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a rise in temperature.
