The natural greenhouse effect keeps the planet comfortably warm, warm enough for life. Now, however, by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and to make electricity, we are adding additional greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. This is producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. This is why we should care and try to stop it.
What else can I help you with?
Should you try to eliminate the greenhouse effect?
No. We need the greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years. But we should try to eliminate the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Should the earth always had a greenhouse effect?
The earth has always had the greenhouse effect. It is what stops us from freezing so far away from the sun.
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
Should we try to totally eliminate the greenhouse effect?
Even if it were possible, we should not try to eliminate the greenhouse effect entirely - the result would be for temperatures to fall well below freezing and make it difficult for humans to survive. We need the natural greenhouse effect that keeps the world at a comfortable temperature suitable for human existence. It is probably too late now to eliminate the enhanced greenhouse effect resulting from two centuries of human activities that poured carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. What we can and should do is to begin now to reduce our further emissions of greenhouse gaes, so that later in this century we can eliminate any anthropogenic addition to the greenhgouse effect.
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
How do you use The greenhouse effect in a sentence?
the greenhouse effect is a global phenomenon.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the planet's surface, leading to a warming effect.
What do humans do to effect the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect keeps us all warm enough for life.The enhanced greenhouse effect causes global warming.
The natural situation in which heat is retained by the atmosphere is the?
the greenhouse effect
What planet has an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect?
EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
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 does the greenhouse effect help do?
The normal greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is causing global warming.
