For humans, there is no adverse health effect associated with the rise from 280 ppm in 1700 to the 400 ppm measured today. Indoor CO2 levels often exceed 1000 ppm. UK standards for indoor air quality suggest CO2 continuous exposure should not rise above 1500 ppm.
There may be other effects, however, brought about by rising greenhouse gas concentrations, and some of this subsidiary effects could have respiratory consequences.
Global warming or climate change.Not exactly. The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.Global warming is the result of the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect.
No, the greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm, but it has no effect on the length of days. Days are longer in summer because your hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and so gets more hours of daylight.
No disease, but people die of heatstroke, sunstroke and heart and respiratory failure during heat waves.
greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect will eventually result in the earth not being able to support life due to the air not been breathable and due to the future average tempreature of the earth being way too high to sustain life.
You cannot stop the greenhouse effect. This is because the greenhouse effect is a direct result of the earth having an atmosphere, most notably because of the atmosphere containing carbon dioxide.I suppose this means that if you really wanted to stop the greenhouse effect, you'd have to remove all carbon dioxide from the air, along with all other greenhouse gases - which would be difficult.
This is known as the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to a warming effect. This phenomenon can contribute to global warming and climate change.
Yes. Humans have been burning fossil fuels since the beginning of the Industrial Age (1750s). This releases long-held carbon dioxide that has been sequestered away for 300 thousand years. This extra greenhouse gas is changing the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is getting warmer and warmer.
No! The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.The enhanced greenhouse effect, which we have now, is the result of human behaviour, namely, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases additional carbon dioxide. This greenhouse gas is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
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.
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.
We stay warm and survive. The greenhouse effect works like this. We get light energy from the sun. When that light energy hits the earth's surface, it turns into heat energy. The earth then heats up the atmosphere and the "greenhouse gases" hold this heat in keeping us warm. If not for the greenhouse effect, the earth's temperature would be about -160o C.
