It assists in the Quest for sustainable ways to Sequester Carbon.

Burning biomass (recently grown vegetation) to generate electricity puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is CO2 that was recently removed (when the plants grew), so biomass is carbon neutral. The only way it reduces the greenhouse effect is if it replaces the burning of fossil fuels.

Does deforestoration increase the greenhouse effect?

Yes, deforestation increases the greenhouse effect because trees absorb carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere. When trees are cut down or burned, this stored carbon is released back into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.


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).


Is the fallowing sentence true or false the greenhouse effect is a natural process?

The greenhouse gases present in the earths atmosphere are both naturally produced and man made. The natural greenhouse gases (methane, water vapour, carbon dioxide) make the Earth warmer than it would be without the Greenhouse effect (this allows it to be habitable). The addition of man made greenhouse gases (methane, carbon dioxide and a few others) increases the temperature past the natural levels. SO the greenhouse effect is both natural and a result of human activities. If you consider the opposite of a "natural effect" to be a "supernatural effect" resulting from gods, devils or ghosts -the greenhouse effect is natural with no supernatural contribution.


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

Is the greenhouse affect a recycling project?

No, the greenhouse effect is the effect of certain gasses such as carbon dioxide and methane (called greenhouse gasses) trapping heat near earth's surface. There is a natural greenhouse effect that keeps earth from becoming too cold, but there is some concern that human actions may be putting extra greenhouse gasses into the air and causing average temperatures to rise.


What is the connection between the sun biomass fossil fuel and the Greenhouse Effect?

Biomass and fossil fuels are sources of energy that come from organic matter, which has stored energy from the sun through photosynthesis. When these fuels are burned, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, leading to an increase in greenhouse gases. The greenhouse effect is the process by which these gases trap heat in the earth's atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.

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.


Which is the common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere?

The most common greenhouse gas responsible for the natural greenhouse effect is water vapour. Man has no control over its levels. When it gets too high, it falls as rain.The most common greenhouse gas responsible for the accelerated greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide (CO2), the high levels of which we are responsible for. CO2 is having the largest effect on the recent increases in global temperature.


Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?

Is the greenhouse effect really responsible for global warming?

Yes, the greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which has existed here for trillions of years and protected the earth from global freezing like the ice age. But increases in greenhouse gases mostly carbon dioxide caused by man's burning of fossil fuels is causing an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is responsible for global warming.


What increases the temperature around the planet?

The enhanced greenhouse effect,which is caused by extra amounts of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide,which is caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation.


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.
