The natural greenhouse effect heats the earth. The water cycle and the carbon cycle keep enough greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to keep our planet comfortably warm. This has been happening for millions of years.
Greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat and prevent it radiating back out into space. These warmed up greenhouse gases warm the whole earth.
Since the Industrial Age, when we began to dig up and burn coal and other fossil fuels we started what is now known as global warming. The extra carbon dioxide liberated from all the fossil fuel caused an accelerated or enhanced greenhouse effect in the atmosphere. The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming.

Where is the Earth Affected by Global Warming?
Global Warming can affectthe Earth in many ways and everywhere!
Without Global Warming?
without global warming you cant live because without it you wouldn't have enough heat kept in the earth. he earth would be cold... but with greenhouse layers there's too much heat kept in or protected .. so this melts icecap's. etc.
What are the most problems in earth science?
global warming, pollution. GLOBAL WARMING.
When will global warming destroy earth?
Global warming will not destroy the earth. The earth can deal with temperatures very much hotter than now. However, if global warming does not stop it will destroy all life on earth.
What is the gradual warming of the earth called?
Global Warming
What does the greenhouse effect refer to?
Global Warming and Heat
What might global warming do to us?
Global warming is the same thing as greenhouse effects. They trap a lot of heat and lets the remaining heat get away into space. Therefore, global warming heats up the Earth making it warmer.
What could be an introduction for my speech on global warming?
A:Global warming is a very big issue in the world today. Global warming is when the earth's temperature rises. The cause of global warming is when greenhouse gases trap heat and light from the sun [in the atmosphere of the earth] causing the earth to heat up. Global warming affects animals and our environment, such as rise in sea levels which will cause extinction for more than a thousand species.
How has global warming helped the earth?
Global warming has not helped the earth, it has harmed the earth.
How will glaciers and icebergs be affected by global warming?
In global warming basically the carbon dioxide is trapped in the earth which causes the Earth to heat up so the glaciers and ice bergs start to melt.
How can temperature (heat) he pollution?
global warming of course sillyWhat is global warming?Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises). It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth's atmosphere, which increases the temperature.thanks from raccebe and cydissa
Why earth have a global warming?
There is no such thing as "a global warming" global warming only happens to earth because human and our unruly decrease in the earths resources. HUMANS cause global warming.
Where is the Earth Affected by Global Warming?
Global Warming can affectthe Earth in many ways and everywhere!
How does global warming come to earth?
Global Warming is coming to earth. It is because of ozone depletion.
What is it called when carbon dioxide forms a heat blanket around the earth is called?
Global Warming
Will global warming make the earth end?
No, the earth will survive a lot of extra heat and climate change. Life on earth, however, will not.
Without Global Warming?
without global warming you cant live because without it you wouldn't have enough heat kept in the earth. he earth would be cold... but with greenhouse layers there's too much heat kept in or protected .. so this melts icecap's. etc.
