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.

How does the greenhouse effect affect plants and animals?
It affects them by photosynthesis.
What happens if there is an oversupply of carbon dioxide in a plant undergoing photosynthesis?
it will cause greenhouse effect
When Heat is trapped in the earth's atmosphere what is the process called?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What is a natural process that holds heat Earth-atmosphere?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What is the process in which heat is trapped in the atmosphere by water vapor?
It is called the greenhouse effect.
How is the greenhouse effect related to photosynthesis?
The only relation there is between the two is carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Too much of it in the atmosphere causes the 'greenhouse effect' whereby the earth warms. In the photosynthesis process CO2 is captured from the atmosphere and, with the help of sunlight (and water in the case of plants) turned into organic compounds. A waste product of this process is oxygen.
How does photosynthesis help minimise the enhanced greenhouse effect?
¨During the photosynthesis process the plant takes in some carbon dioxide from the air and uses it during the rest of the process. When the plant inhales the carbon dioxide it means that there is less of it in the air. This means that there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the enhanced greenhouse effect is reduced.
Which process reverses the greenhouse gas effect in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide, store the carbon and release the oxygen.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
How does the greenhouse effect affect plants and animals?

The effect is the process by which gases in the atmosphere trap heat?
The greenhouse effect
What happens if there is an oversupply of carbon dioxide in a plant undergoing photosynthesis?
it will cause greenhouse effect
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".
What is the process by which gases hold heat in the air?
The greenhouse effect
What is the process that regulates the earth's average temperature?
the Greenhouse effect
What is the process in which the atmosphere traps infrared rays?
its the greenhouse effect
What is the process in which gases trap heat in the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect
