The greenhouse effect must be discussed in two settings - the natural case and the enhanced (or manmade) greenhouse effect. The natural greenhouse effect keeps the planet at a stable temperature which is considerably warmer than that of a ball of rock at the Earth's distance from the sum. This has allowed the Earth to have liquid oceans and life. Eliminating this effect entirely would make the Earth unpleasant and uninhabitable.

The enhanced or man made greenhouse effect is changing the speed at which the climate is changing. This can create a number of problems such as changes in weather patterns, affect the severity of storms, and allow the migration of growing zones for plants and animals. This portion of the effect is subject to control attempts to minimize problems with the quality of human life (famine, disease, drought and lifestyle)
