It's probably enhanced, or accelerated already. The warming earth is causing climate change.

What would be the effects of eliminating the greenhouse effect?
The earth would freeze. The normal greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect is now causing global warming and climate change.
Is global warming another term for the greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, help to trap heat within Earth's atmosphere. This effect has been in place for as long as Earth has had an atmosphere and is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the planet would freeze over. Global warming is primarily the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by extra geenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere.
How do people stop the greenhouse effect?
We can't stop the natural greenhouse effect, and we don't want to! Without the natural greenhouse effect, temperatures on the Earth's surface would be far too cold for humans to survive.However, the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming can only be stopped by changing to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, and biofuel) and stopping burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Should you stop the greenhouse effect altogether?
The effect has been with us since the planet was formed. We would die without it. Completely stopping the greenhouse effect would require no water vapor (currently 90% of all green house gas is water vapor) and no oxygen (Oxygen turns into O3 with sunlight). However, we should certainly try to slow the enhanced greenhouse effect, which is the extra greenhouse gases that are being added to the atmosphere by human activity, mainly by burning fossil fuels. See related link below about levels of added CO2.
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 things change the greenhouse effect in the future?
We could change the greenhouse effect in the future by planting billions of fast-growing trees. This would remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the enhanced greenhouse effect that we have now would slow down.
What would be the effects of eliminating the greenhouse effect?
The earth would freeze. The normal greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect is now causing global warming and climate change.
What would happen if the amount of molecules in earth's atmosphere doubled?
They would create a double greenhouse effect
What is the difference between greenhouse effect and greenhouse enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. Without it, the earth would be unable to retain enough heat to sustain life.The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the all the extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane etc) that we put into the air from burning fossil fuels and agriculture (cattle belches). These all trap more heat and radiation from the sun than is normally required. The earth radiates infrared energy from the sunlight that reaches the surface which should escape off into space, but due to the enhanced greenhouse effect, this radiation is trapped. Therefore, the overall temperature of the globe rises.See this link below for a diagram:Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earths atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is caused by high concentrations of methane, co2 and water vapour in the earth's atmosphere . These gases occur naturally (natural greenhouse effect) however due to human activity (cars, burning fossil fuels, deforestation) more of these gases are released, and this enhances the greenhouse effect (so it is called the enhanced greenhouse effect.)
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
What would happen to earth if the greenhouse effect did not exist?
The earth would become very cold, and cease to exist.
Is global warming another term for the greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, help to trap heat within Earth's atmosphere. This effect has been in place for as long as Earth has had an atmosphere and is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the planet would freeze over. Global warming is primarily the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by extra geenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere.
What are the possible implications of the greenhouse effect on land and water?
There is a natural greenhouse effect, supported by the carbon and water cycles, which keeps the land and water warm. Without this, the earth would be too cold for life. However, the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect is causing global warming. This is making the land and water much hotter, and all this extra energy is causing climate change.
How would an increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere change the greenhouse effect?
It would make the greenhouse effect stronger.
Is the greenhouse effect necessarily bad?
We need some greenhouse effect (good) but not too much (bad).The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm. Otherwise, we would freeze, the warmth of the day would disappear in the night. The carbon and water cycles keep enough carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere to support this.The accelerated greenhouse effect (which is happening now from man's deforestation and burning of fossil fuel) is the bad effect, causing global warming.
How do people stop the greenhouse effect?
We can't stop the natural greenhouse effect, and we don't want to! Without the natural greenhouse effect, temperatures on the Earth's surface would be far too cold for humans to survive.However, the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming can only be stopped by changing to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, and biofuel) and stopping burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Does a planet need an atmosphere to have an Greenhouse Effect?
Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.
