As the catalytic converter emits CO2 and H2O in the air. The gasses absorbe infra red radiation emitted by the earth and re-radiate the energy as heat back towards the earth. So the more CO2 and H2O emitted to the air the more heat there will be. So no, the catalytic converter does not help reduce the greenhouse effect.

How do some people reduce the greenhouse effect?

The only way to reduce the greenhouse effect is to actually remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The only way to do this is to plant trees. Trees remove carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Some people plant trees to reduce the greenhouse effect.


How can we combat the anti-greenhouse effect to mitigate the impact of climate change?

To combat the anti-greenhouse effect and mitigate the impact of climate change, we can reduce emissions of pollutants that contribute to cooling the atmosphere, such as sulfur dioxide. Additionally, we can promote the use of renewable energy sources and implement sustainable practices to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions.


How does planting trees help reduce the greenhouse effect?

Trees sequester (store) carbon for long periods of time. When the tree dies, or is burned up in a fire, that carbon is released back into the atmosphere. Trees harvested for lumber continue storing most of the carbon they have sequestered.


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.


Do cooking fuels contribute to the green house effect?

The only fuels that contribute to the greenhouse effect are fossil fuels. So, using coal, coke, petroleum oil, gas or peat for cooking does contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming, but using wood, biofuels and other renewable resources does not.
