Does paraffin contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Yes, paraffin is produced from petroleum, a fossil fuel. It contains carbon dioxide from millions of years ago, so when it is burnt it adds to the normal greenhouse effect which has become overwhelmed by all the extra carbon dioxide. The normal greenhouse effect is now warming into the accelerated greenhouse effect.
What gas is in the greenhouse effect?
Mostly water vapor, although there are trace gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and ozone that produce small additional amounts of warming.A:The greenhouse effect has kept the planet warm for millions of years. When most people talk about the greenhouse effect now, they are referring to the enhanced greenhouse effect, which is being caused by additional carbon dioxide since man started burning fossil fuels about 200 years ago.

Which planet is the hottest due to the greenhouse effect gone wild?
Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect. Its seas have now boiled dry!
The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of?
The planet(s) through solar radiation and the retention of a small portion of this heat through atmospheric gases. The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a natural effect that has gone on for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect, what we are experiencing now, is caused by the warming of the extra greenhouse gases that man is adding to the atmosphere, largely by burning fossil fuels, and by deforestation.
Why is the greenhouse effect important for on the Earth?
The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life. It does this by trapping some of the sun's heat as it radiates back out from the surface of the earth. This has been happening for millions of years and is completely natural.The enhanced or accelerated greenhouse effect! which is what is happening now, is important because it is causing global warming and climate change.

did the greenhouse effect increase?
Yes. When we started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down the great forests of the worldd (deforestation), the normal greenhouse effect began to change into the accelerated, or enhanced greenhouse effect which we now have.
The greenhouse effect is making the earth warmer colder or windier?
The greenhouse effect is making the Earth warmer overall. This however is not apparent to the casual local observer as the changing weather patterns resulting from the same overall warming may make some areas warmer, some colder, some wetter and some drier.
How can the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases cause problems with earth's energy budget?
Earth's energy budget has been balanced for thousands of years. The natural greenhouse effect allows enough heat in and out of the atmosphere to keep it warm enough for life. Additional greenhouse gases, which we are now adding to the atmosphere and causing problems with the budget and the earth is warming up. This warming is causing climate change.
Who is being affected by the greenhouse effect?
All life as it could not exist without the natural greenhouse effect which has kept the planet warm for millions of years.All life now is being affected by the enhanced greenhouse effect, which is caused by the extra greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere for the past 250 years, mostly by humans burning fossil fuels. This is leading to global warming, making the earth warmer, and this warming is causing climate change.
