What is the green house effect?

(short answer)

Comments

  • The greenhouse effect is a natural process which is made worse by humans:

    The sun radiates energy. Some of it radiates to the Earth. Some bounces off the atmosphere and doesn't affect us; some of it goes through the atmosphere and warms the Earth; some goes into the atmosphere, bounces off the Earth and goes back into space - this is called re-radiated energy. However, if there is too much greenhouse gas (such as carbon dioxide or methane) in the atmosphere, a 'barrier' is created and stops this re-radiated energy from escaping the atmosphere, which warms the Earth more than it should.

    The greenhouse effect is the cause of global warming and climate change.

    The more we burn fossil fuels, drive vehicles that release CO2 into the air, and send rubbish to the landfill, the more greenhouses gases are released into the atmosphere, and the more common the greenhouse effect occurs.

    Since this warms our Earth more than it should, ice has started melting, standing polar bears, and eventually this will badly affect our climate.

  • the green house effect is a good thing but its when you have to much is when its bad because without it we would be living on a giant snowball its basically refers to the warming of a planet by means of atmospheric gas such as carbon monoxide or methane there are others cant remember but it can be bad and cause too much heating. like venus its greenhouse effect gone rampant. and alot of people think the earth is going through global warming which is what i think your thinking of but its not really look at the 1930s the dust bowl it was hot and dry and it wouldn't rain instead there were huge dust storms and i mean huge. the sun just like the earth goes through seasons it warms up and cools down by its self. and so does the earth over centuries its a natural thing. proof it went from the green house effect global warming to climate change. they cant even hold on to just one name.;

  • The Greenhouse Effect is a misnomer. The Earth's atmosphere

    releases more heat into space than thought, as recent Terra satellite

    data has shown.

  • the greenhouse effect is a problem

    it s basically the overabundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere trapping in the suns heat

    heating the earth until it's like Venus

  • Carbon dioxide from exhaust and plants being in the air, which in turn makes the specific heat of air higher. This makes the earth heat up more, but at a slow rate.
