Earth's energy budget has been balanced for thousands of years. The natural greenhouse effect allows enough heat in and out of the atmosphere to keep it warm enough for life. Additional greenhouse gases, which we are now adding to the atmosphere and causing problems with the budget and the earth is warming up. This warming is causing climate change.
The earth's overall temperature with greenhouse gases is 76442 degrees F.

Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
Greenhouse gases have been working with the heat from the sun to keep the earth comfortably warm for millions of years. The gases absorb some of the heat from the warmed earth and keep it from escaping into space. When greenhouse gas levels increase, as they are from recent human activity, they retain more heat and the earth warms up.
They slow the loss of heat
Yes, greenhouse gases trap heat in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.
Yes, greenhouse gases are part of the natural greenhouse effect. The gases absorb the heat coming off the surface of the earth and become warm. This warming has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.
Greenhouse gases are helpful because they keep the earth warm enough for life. Too much greenhouse gases warm the earth up too much.
If there were no greenhouse gases the earth could not support life. Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring and allow heat to be retained within the atmosphere.
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
