What else can I help you with?
A rise in the Earth surface temperature due to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is called?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What is it called when there are high levels of carbon dioxide?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect in the atmosphere which is causing global warming.
When there are increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere it is causing a what of the earth's atmosphere?
An enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Are plants reducing global warming?
Plants reduce carbon dioxide, because they absorb carbon and release oxygen. Yes, they help reduce global warming, because excess carbon dioxide emissions increase the green house effect and global warming. Plants in total consume a small percentage of the carbon dioxide, a known minor contributor to global warming. The bottom line is that plants are a small carbon sink.
What are the hazardous gases?
Carbon dioxide and methane are the ones causing most of the accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming and leading to climate change.
What are the hazardous greenhouse gases?
Carbon dioxide and methane are the ones causing most of the accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming and leading to climate change.
What you can do to protect the greenhouse effect?
We can slow the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming by slowing our carbon dioxide emissions and by planting billions of trees.
Too much of which gas in the atmosphere is causing global warming?
Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing global warming. The natural carbon cycle is overwhelmed and can't move out all the extra gas. The extra gas is turning the natural greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect, which is causing global warming.
How does global warming cause long-term changes in the global temperature?
Global warming is long term changes - increases - in the global temperature.The increases in the global temperature are being caused by the accelerated greenhouse effect. That is, more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (methane, but largely carbon dioxide from our burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas) capture more of the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. This extra warming is global warming.
How are greenhouse effect and global warming harmful?
The natural greenhouse effect (helped by carbon dioxide) keeps the earth warm. This is not harmful.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (from too much carbon dioxide) is causing global warming. This is harmful as it is causing climate change, meaning stronger storms, droughts and flooding.
Does logging effect the global warming?
Yes, trees and plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2, which is a huge greenhouse gas), store the carbon in their roots, trunks and branches and release the oxygen. If the trees are no longer present, then the CO2 will remain in the atmosphere, where it adds to the accelerated greenhouse effect. This is causing global warming.
