There are many different claims made by many different groups for a variety of different reasons. Let's assume that CO2 levels will keep rising for the next 100 years or so, what are the KNOWN consequences of this action? The answer is that is do not know.
There are many predicted possibilities.
Some claim an increase in tropical storms. Other groups predict a lessening of storms. The truth could be either way, currently we are in a 30 year low of overall hurricane activity.
Some claim that temperatures could rise. Other groups claim that after 100 ppm carbon dioxide saturates in terms of the driving ability. The truth could be either. We do know that temperatures have risen 0.2 degrees since 1934. This coincidences with a 80 time increase in CO2 production by man.
What we do know is that continued use of fossil fuels is not a good thing and that decreasing this dependency is a good idea.

How does greenhouse gases affect the heat flow in and out of earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This leads to an increase in the overall temperature of the Earth, a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect. As the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere rises, more heat is trapped, causing global temperatures to increase.
In which atmosphere does most of the greenhouse effect occur?
Most of the greenhouse effect occurs in the troposphere.
How does an increase in greenhouse gas in the atmosphere contribute to an increase in global temperature?
Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun in Earth's atmosphere, creating a "greenhouse effect". When the concentration of greenhouse gases increases, more heat is trapped, leading to an increase in global temperature. This phenomenon is a key driver of climate change.
What is a gradual increase in the average temperature of earths atmosphere?
A gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is known as global warming. This is primarily caused by human activities releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to the Earth's temperature rising.
What effect would an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have on earths overall temperature?
Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.

What is the temperature of it atmosphere is increased by the greenhouse effect?
Both Earth and Venus have increase temperature due to a greenhouse effect. Venus has a much stronger greenhouse effect than Earth does.
How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
When Heat is trapped in the earth's atmosphere what is the process called?
The process is called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in the average temperature of the planet.
In which atmosphere does most of the greenhouse effect occur?
Most of the greenhouse effect occurs in the troposphere.
What is not considered a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere?
Oxygen is not considered a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere.
What will happen if the greenhouse effects continues to increase?
people will die

How do greenhouse gases warm the lower atmosphere?
Greenhouse gasses harm the Earth because they pollute the air and makes our atmosphere thinner. When that happens, it is letting more and more heat in our Earth that drought will happen and water will be lost.
What would happen if the amount of molecules in earth's atmosphere doubled?
They would create a double greenhouse effect
Can Greenhouse gases change Earth's average surface temperature?
Yes. They can and they do. Any increase in the level of carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphere will result in an increase in average global temperatures. This typically results in evaporation of additional water vapour, creating a slight amplifier effect, to further increase surface temperatures.
Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
