Is the greenhouse effect caused solely by humans?
No, there is a natural greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm for millions of years. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, humans are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Can humans stop the greenhouse effect?
We don't want to stop the natural greenhouse effect, which keeps the earth warm enough for life. We can stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. But we have to act now and seriously, to move to renewable energy, stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and replant billions of trees.
How is Humankind contributing to the Negation of the Green House Effect?
Heads Up, Dared to Prove Otherwise: "Too little, Too late." We are not negating the greenhouse effect. In fact we are increasing its effect by adding more greenhouse gases to the mix. We now have an 'accelerated' greenhouse effect.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the planet's surface, leading to a warming effect.
The natural situation in which heat is retained by the atmosphere is the?
the 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.
When did the Greenhouse effect start?
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.
Is the greenhouse effect caused solely by humans?
No, there is a natural greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm for millions of years. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, humans are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which 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".
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What is the key greenhouse gas?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the key greenhouse gasresponsible for the accelerated greenhouse effect, added by humans burning fossil fuels. CO2 is having the largest effect on the recent increases in global temperature.The most common greenhouse gas for the natural greenhouse effect is water vapour. Man has no control over its levels. When it gets too high, it falls as rain.
What is the largest effect on how humans interact with the environment?
Perhaps the major effect that humans have on the environment is the pollution of the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases in this pollution are causing temperature rises all over the world.
Have humans affected the earths Greenhouse Effect?
yes, by releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and sulphur dioxide througe the burning of fossil fuels
What is the negative effect humans have on the stability of the environment is most directly linked to an increase in?
Pollution and greenhouse gases.
Does the greenhouse effect result from human activity?
Yes. Humans have been burning fossil fuels since the beginning of the Industrial Age (1750s). This releases long-held carbon dioxide that has been sequestered away for 300 thousand years. This extra greenhouse gas is changing the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is getting warmer and warmer.
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.
Can humans stop the greenhouse effect?
We don't want to stop the natural greenhouse effect, which keeps the earth warm enough for life. We can stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. But we have to act now and seriously, to move to renewable energy, stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and replant billions of trees.
