Why are so many scientists so worried about the greenhouse effect today?

Climate scientists have studied the effects the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming and they are worried. They are worried because they have spread the message to the world but very few governments are prepared to take serious steps to combat the problem.

Does the Green House Effect help the Earth?
Yes. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would be uncomfortably (possibly unlivably) cold for most plants and animals alive today.
Why does the greenhouse effect increase earths average temperature?
The earth has a greenhouse effect that keeps the planet warm. This is natural, supported by the carbon and water cycles, and has been going on for millions of years. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane from human activities mean the earth is experiencing an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What does the greenhouse effect have in relation to Venus's?
The Sun heats the atmosphere of Venus up tremendously due to an out-of-control greenhouse effect. The average temperature on Venus is 460 C, or 860 F. The surface temperature of Venus is actually higher than that of Mercury.
I got a dent in my head today should I be worried?
Yes, you should be worried if it was not caused by mosquitoes or falliing.
What are Positive and negative consequences of the greenhouse effect?
The good aspect of the greenhouse effect, which is caused by water vapor, mostly, plus some minor gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), is that it keeps the world from freezing into one, big ball.The bad aspect is that carbon dioxide could turn it into an accelerated greenhouse effect, where the CO2 released from our burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas have overwhelmed the carbon cycle and the natural greenhouse effect.The accelerated greenhouse effect, with more and more CO2 and methane in the atmosphere is causing global warming, which is driving climate change.

What is the Greenhouse effect and how is it linked to Global warming?
The earth is surrounded by an atmosphere of air, made up of a number of gases. These greenhouse gases prevent some of the sun's heat (infrared radiation) from reflecting back into space. If this greenhouse blanket was not there the surface of the earth would be about minus 18 degrees C (0ºF), instead of its present average temperature of 15 degrees C (59ºF). So this natural greenhouse effect is very useful. One of these greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide (CO2). About 200 years ago humans started pumping extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, when the first factories began. Today the concentration of carbon dioxide is 35 per cent greater that it was in the 18th century. We have increased other greenhouse gases too, like methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. These increased amounts of greenhouse gases trap more infrared radiation and the earth's lower atmosphere is warming up. This is known as the enhanced greenhouse effect and is causing global warming, which, in turn, is causing climate change. This is made worse by deforestation because plants take in CO2 and without them, less carbon dioxide is taken in, which in turn traps more heat.

What gas is increasing in abundance due to the greenhouse effect?
The gas that will increase is the Methan (CH4) because of the melting of the lands in Mongolia. There is a lot of methan in those lands due to prehistoric decompostion, but it stayed there until today because it was frozen in the ground.
