The greenhouse effect is a natural occurrence that is directly affected by human activities such as new industrial processes, more extensive agriculture and a rapid increase in the world’s population causing global warming.
To discuss global warming there should first be a clear definition of global warming, what it is from, and what it leads to. The Carbon cycle is a good example of this process. Carbon is basically the key element of life and in all greenhouse gases. Methane for example is more dangerous then others. Methane (C3H8) has been proven to be around ten times worse as a greenhouse gas then carbon dioxide (CO2).
According to the royal society of science the concentration of CO2 has gone up by 90 parts per million (PPM) since the 1800's. Scientists have also tested air bubbles trapped
The “greenhouse effect” was first explained by the Swedish Scientist Svante Arrhenius however the connection to the combustion of fossil fuels in new. The Greenhouse Effect as explained by NASA News can be described as the atmosphere of the earth allows sunlight to penetrate through the transparent air and cause the ground to warm. The atmosphere then acts as a blanket, keeping the warmth of the Earth from escaping back into space. This effect is due to certain gases in the atmosphere which are very good at absorbing the heat energy before it is lost to space. NASA describes these gases, called “greenhouse gases” that include carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane. It is also said that without the greenhouse effect, the entire plant would be much colder, by about 63 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius), than it presently is.
