The problem with the greenhouse effect is that all the CNN and FOX science shows have "heat" from the sun hitting the earth and bouncing back towards space only to be intercepted by a layer of CO2 "up there" reflecting it back down like the glass in Greenhouse. Whereas the actual effect is that the heat is absorbed by the CO2 and other GHG gases all through the atmosphere. This is the same picture as folks have of CFCs rising to the stratosphere to form an ozone eating layer, where in reality it just mixes all through the atmosphere and the top (outer) edge reacts.

What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
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.
Why is photosynthesis the only process that can combat the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect does not have to be combatted, as it usefully keeps the earth warm. But we have to stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The only process that can combat the enhanced greenhouse effect is photosynthesis, trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
When did the enhanced greenhouse effect occur?
When we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we released billions of tones of EXTRA carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This changed the natural greenhouse effect to an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.
What are the two types of greenhouse effect?
The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation) leads to global warming and climate change.(There is also the very dangerous runaway greenhouse effect that happened on Venus.)
Is the greenhouse effect preventable?
The natural greenhouse effect is essential for keeping the earth warm enough for life. But the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming can be slowed and reversed by reducing the quantities of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
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.
Is the enhanced greenhouse effect essential for life on earth?
The greenhouse effect is essential to life on earth. The enhanced greenhouse effect is not. In fact if it is enhanced too quickly it can be harmful to life.
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.
What is it called when there are high levels of carbon dioxide?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect in the atmosphere which is causing global warming.
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
What is the trapping of heat near a planet's surface by certain gases in the planet's atmosphere?
We call it the greenhouse effect, which is natural, or the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
