What is the greenhouse effect, and why is the problem closely linked to large scale industrial society? The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring process that aids in the heating of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. The rising temperatures of the earths surface, although the actual rise is...
GREENHOUSE EFFECT Introduction: Greenhouse effect occurs when trapping of heat by certain gases in the atmosphere of a planet, such as the earth, causing temperatures at the planet's surface and in the lower atmosphere to be higher than they otherwise would be. In the case of the earth, its atmosphere...
Global warming is caused by an accelerated “greenhouse effect”. (Knox, 2006). Carbon dioxide and water vapor as well as some other gases that surround the earth absorb the heat from the sun which acts as a kind of greenhouse for the earth. If there were no greenhouse effect on the earth it is estimated that...

through evolution, due to production of toxic and non-toxic gases, little by little the earth has become warm and now it shows a vigorous change. The CO2 gas will trap the heat and prevent it from going out of earth. The more CO2 we produce, the more heat it’ll trap. This is not what happened in the past few...
