The effect has been with us since the planet was formed. We would die without it. Completely stopping the greenhouse effect would require no water vapor (currently 90% of all green house gas is water vapor) and no oxygen (Oxygen turns into O3 with sunlight).

However, we should certainly try to slow the enhanced greenhouse effect, which is the extra greenhouse gases that are being added to the atmosphere by human activity, mainly by burning fossil fuels.

What are your reactions regarding to greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life. We really need it. The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming is what we need to stop!


Why is photosynthesis the only process that can combat the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect does not have to be combatted, as it usefully keeps the earth warm. But we have to stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The only process that can combat the enhanced greenhouse effect is photosynthesis, trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


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 do people stop the greenhouse effect?

We can't stop the natural greenhouse effect, and we don't want to! Without the natural greenhouse effect, temperatures on the Earth's surface would be far too cold for humans to survive.However, the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming can only be stopped by changing to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, and biofuel) and stopping burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


Why is the greenhouse so important to for life on earth?

The natural greenhouse effect has been keeping the earth warm for millions of years, allowing life to thrive on this planet. The enhanced or accelerated greenhouse effect, which is what is happening now, is causing global warming and may mean the end of life on earth if we can't slow or stop it.

How does ozone enhance the greenhouse effect?

Ozone depletion causes plankton to die. These plankton are the ones that stop greenhouse effect.


What can you do to stop green house effect?

You cannot stop the greenhouse effect. This is because the greenhouse effect is a direct result of the earth having an atmosphere, most notably because of the atmosphere containing carbon dioxide.I suppose this means that if you really wanted to stop the greenhouse effect, you'd have to remove all carbon dioxide from the air, along with all other greenhouse gases - which would be difficult.

Why should we care about the greenhouse effect?

The natural greenhouse effect keeps the planet comfortably warm, warm enough for life. Now, however, by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and to make electricity, we are adding additional greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. This is producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. This is why we should care and try to stop it.

Why can we not stop the greenhouse effect?

We need the greenhouse effect to keep the earth warm enough for life. This is natural and has been happening for millions of years.We have to stop the enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by our burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). This is causing global warming and climate change.


How will solar energy effect our world?

solar energy will effect our world because it will stop the greenhouse effect from growing -SmartyPants411-Did you also know painting your roof white will reduce greenhouse effect??? If everyone in the U.S. painted their roof white, greenhouse effect would be reduced enough to take back all emissions done in 2008.


Who enforces the law to stop the greenhouse effect?

The Kyoto Protocol is one made to stop the greenhouse effect. They issue the normal range to which the gases can be released. This protocol has been effective.The Kyoto Protocol depends on each country to enforce the promises they each made.


How can the greenhouse effect be controlled?

It can't, there is little we can do for a while now. we just need to stop making things worse.


What are the plus' and minus' of Food additives and should we stop eating them altogether?

Yes,we should stop eating food with food additives because they can damage our health.


How can you manage the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is now an "accelerated" greenhouse effect. In other words it is warming rapidly and causing global warming.So we need to manage it by reducing the amounts of greenhouse gases that are being added to it. Most of these are being added by burning fossil fuels. The only way to stop this is to move to renewable energy.Solar, wind, water, etc are all sources of energy that do not release carbon dioxide emissions.
