How greenhouse effect affects global warming?

The green house effect is called that because the earths atmosphere is acting like a green house. The pollutant gases in the earth's atmosphere trap the sun's heat around the earth just like in a green house where the glass traps the heat in the glass house. This trapped heat raises the overall temp of the earth this is called global warming.
