Why does increasing the amount of a greenhouse gas increase the temperature of a planet?
The greenhouse gases reflect to the Earth the infrared radiation.
Global warming is thought to be caused by the increase of what substances?
The increase is in greenhouse gases (CO2. methane) in the atmosphere. These gases and others are produced both naturally and by industrial activities including burning of fossil fuels.
How have human activities changed the greenhouse gases?
Human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation have increasedlevels of greenhouse gases.
What Natural factors increase Greenhouse Gases?
Rotting trees and vegetation emit carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases.
What does the greenhouse effect have to do with deforestation?
The greenhouse effect is simply the atmosphere's ability to retain heat. This is caused by gases, which we call greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat, rather like greenhouses trap heat to help grow plants in cold climates.

What would happen if the amount of greenhouse gases were reduced?
If the amount of greenhouse gases were reduced, then the temperature of the earth would cool.
Does composting yard waste increase the amount of garbage sent to landfills and so increase greenhouse gas emissions?
No, composting yard waste means you keep it as compost. There is no increase in the amount of garbage sent to landfills. Correct composting releases no greenhouse gases.
How have human activities changed the greenhouse gases?
Human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation have increasedlevels of greenhouse gases.
What kind of increased risk are we facing if the snow melts and the amount of greenhouse gases increase?
We are running the risk of enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Why should humans care about the increase in greenhouse gases?
If we do not care about the increase in greenhouse gases, the climate of the Earth shall increase in temperature and then we will all be bunz-pasted. And no more doing it for babies.
What greenhouse gases has been impacting the climate for the least amount of time?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are the newest of the greenhouse gases
Do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reduce holes in the ozone shield?
No, greenhouse gases do not reduce the hole. In the contrary, they increase the size of the hole.
What Natural factors increase Greenhouse Gases?
Rotting trees and vegetation emit carbon dioxide and methane, both greenhouse gases.
Does a change in natural levels of greenhouse gases warm the earth?
Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. A reduction in the amount of these gases in the atmosphere would result in global cooling, while an increase results in higher global average temperatures - global warming.
What does the greenhouse effect have to do with deforestation?
The greenhouse effect is simply the atmosphere's ability to retain heat. This is caused by gases, which we call greenhouse gases. These gases trap heat, rather like greenhouses trap heat to help grow plants in cold climates.
