Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to an increase in global temperatures. This intensifies the greenhouse effect, causing climate change and its associated impacts such as rising sea levels and more frequent extreme weather events.
The greenhouse effect has been a natural phenomenon on Earth for millions of years. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have significantly increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, intensifying the greenhouse effect and leading to global warming.
Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change. Reducing the use of fossil fuels is crucial in mitigating the impact of climate change.
No! The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.The enhanced greenhouse effect, which we have now, is the result of human behaviour, namely, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases additional carbon dioxide. This greenhouse gas is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
This is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface. This phenomenon is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature but human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have increased the concentration of these gases and intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming.
Earth's atmosphere is like a greenhouse because it contains gases like carbon dioxide and methane that trap heat from the sun, creating a "blanket" that warms the planet. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, which helps regulate Earth's temperature and make it habitable for life. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have intensified this effect leading to global warming.

Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun within the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect. This effect causes global temperatures to rise, resulting in climate change and other environmental impacts.

called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when certain gases, like carbon dioxide, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in temperature. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have intensified the greenhouse effect, contributing to global warming.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.
Adding additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere intensifies the greenhouse effect. We are doing this by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases carbon dioxide.
The greenhouse effect, burning of fossil fuels, and releasing of CFC's from aerosol sprays have a negative effect on the Ozone layer.
Carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are referred to as pollution because of the powerful effect they have in causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which is responsible for global warming.
