The contention of almost every of climatologist is that Global Warming is a major issue for the global community. Global warming is driving "Global Climate Change" as some areas may be warmer, some cooler, some wetter, some drier.
The present problems of global climate change are the result of the following factors:
- an increase in the emissions of the various man made green house gases (methane and carbon dioxide) and
- the disruption of the natural sinks of greenhouse gas removal like forest cover and soil sequestration.
Unfortunately the impact of greenhouse gas emissions creates a feed forward loop in the rising temperature. Warming of the oceans creates a reduction of the ice caps and a corresponding decrease in the Earth's albedo (less heat is reflected back to space) so more heat is retained.. The warming also unfreezes the permafrost in the northern land masses releasing methane a greenhouse gas 20x more potent than carbon dioxide, which captures more heat and thaws more permafrost. Observations of atmospheric gas composition, average sea water temperatures, atmospheric temperatures etc. confirm the trends and support the proposition.
What else can I help you with?
What is the relationship between the greenhouse effect and global warming?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. Global warming refers to the increase in Earth's average temperature due to human activities that enhance the greenhouse effect. In other words, the greenhouse effect contributes to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, leading to a rise in temperatures worldwide.
The warming of an atmosphere that is the result of gasses such as carbon dioxide which prevent the sun's heat from escaping?
This is known as the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to a warming effect. This phenomenon can contribute to global warming and climate change.
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.
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 other factors do you think influence the rate of warming of a particular spot on the Earth's surface?
Other factors that influence the rate of warming of a particular spot on Earth's surface include proximity to large bodies of water, urbanization and the urban heat island effect, elevation, land cover changes, cloud cover, and atmospheric circulation patterns. Additionally, factors such as albedo, greenhouse gas concentrations, and local weather patterns can also play a role in determining the rate of warming in a specific area.
What effect is warming the atmosphere?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What natural greenhouse gases are associated with greenhouse effect?
global warming
What are synonyms of the greenhouse effect?
Global warming or climate change.Not exactly. The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.Global warming is the result of the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse 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.
What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What is the another term for the greenhouse effect?
Global warming, but the two terms are not the same.The natural greenhouse effect keeps the planet warm.The enhanced greenhouse effect causes global warming.Global warming causes climate change.
The greenhouse effect is the natural warming of earth's what?
Atmosphere.
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.
What environmental issue is related to the greenhouse effect?
Global Warming... Global Warming is caused by Carbon Dioxide being trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. AKA the greenhouse effect.
How ozone layer is damaged by greenhouse effect?
Global warming causes greenhouse effect. It then causes ozone depletion.
What is the relationship between the greenhouse effect and global warming?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. Global warming refers to the increase in Earth's average temperature due to human activities that enhance the greenhouse effect. In other words, the greenhouse effect contributes to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere, leading to a rise in temperatures worldwide.
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat from the Earth's surface, leading to a warming effect known as global warming.
