It is affecting the whole globe's climate now, especially the north and south poles.

What do scientists believe is happening to the earth because of the greenhouse effect and pollution?

Scientists believe that global warming is happening to the earth because of the greenhouse effect and carbon dioxide pollution in the atmosphere.


Is carbon dioxide a greenhouse effect?

No, carbon dioxide (CO2) is NOT an effect of the greenhouse effect. It is one of the causes. With other greenhouse gases it is responsible for the natural greenhouse effect, and the extra levels of CO2 from burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is why global warming is happening.


Why is the greenhouse effect important for on the Earth?

The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life. It does this by trapping some of the sun's heat as it radiates back out from the surface of the earth. This has been happening for millions of years and is completely natural.The enhanced or accelerated greenhouse effect! which is what is happening now, is important because it is causing global warming and climate change.


How does the greenhouse effect make your planet livable?

The natural greenhouse effect keeps the planet warm enough for life. The enhanced greenhouse effect, which is what is happening because of global warming, is causing the earth to get warmer. This extra heat is causing climate change.

Could the greenhouse effect occur on other planets?

The greenhouse effect is happening on any planet with greenhouse gas. Mars, as an example has greenhouse gases in it's atmosphere and has seen warming over the past hundred years similar to our warming trend. Venus, with an atmosphere of 96.5% carbon dioxide, has a runaway greenhouse effect which has caused the oceans to boil dry.


What contributes to maintaining the temperature on Earth?

The greenhouse effect maintains the temperature on earth as it has done for millions of years. The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming has only been happening for the past 200 years.


What effect is the greenhouse effect having on your planet?

The normal greenhouse effect keeps the planet, and us, warm.the enhanced greenhouse effect, which we are having now, is causing global warming and climate change.This is happening because of our burning of fossil fuels(coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).


Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?

greenhouse effect


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.


Why can we not stop the greenhouse effect?

We need the greenhouse effect to keep the earth warm enough for life. This is natural and has been happening for millions of years.We have to stop the enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). This is causing global warming and climate change.
