The earth needs a greenhouse at normal levels if we wish to live at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. What the world does not need is an enhanced greenhouse effect, whereby we have been adding additional carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere as a result of human activities. Until the start of the Industrial Age, the long-term level of atmospheric carbon dioxide was in the range of 260-280 parts per million (ppm), falling to around 160 ppm during cold periods. The level is now at 380 ppm and rising rapidly, hence scientific concerns about global warming.
