The greenhouse effect is not a matter of opinion. It is a simple matter of an object (Earth) absorbing electromagnetic energy from the Sun in the high frequency part of the spectrum and re-radiating it in the lower frequency regime. The lower frequency regime encounters far more absorption in the atmosphere and the energy is thereby retained and heats the Earth.
The greenhouse effect is a quantitative theory complete with equations, predictions, verifications and is testable in detail. The larger scientific questions pertain to integrating the numerous contributions to global warming in addition to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect and climate change are not the same thing and require a more sophisticated discussion than can be accomplished in a brief "answer."
Yes.
Greenhouse effect.
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 greenhouse effect
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.
This is true. The greenhouse effect on earth holds back heat escaping from the earth.
true
Nitrogen itself does not contribute directly to the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. However, nitrogen compounds can indirectly affect the greenhouse effect when they are released into the atmosphere and interact with other greenhouse gases.

Yes.
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.
the greenhouse effect is a global phenomenon.
The greenhouse effect keeps us all warm enough for life.The enhanced greenhouse effect causes global warming.
