The enhanced greenhouse effect, the one that is seriously warming the planet, is being caused by the rapid addition of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. We release this extra carbon dioxide by burning fossil fuel, where the CO2 has been secured away since the coal and oil was formed, millions of years ago. We burn fossil fuel in industry, transport, and generating electricity.

A sustainable energy source (solar, hydro, wind, wave, tide, geothermal or sustainable biofuel) can be used to generate electricity without releasing this extra greenhouse gas.

When we get all our electricity from sustainable, renewable sources, then we can stop burning fossil fuels. We can run our vehicles, our factories and our homes using green electricity. This will be a solution to the greenhouse effect, though it will take many years for the carbon dioxide levels to come down to their previous levels.
