  • Explaining Global Warming

    Global warming, also known as the greenhouse effect, is the gradual warming of the Earth's atmosphere due to increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases. To better understand this effect, consider a greenhouse.

  • Greenhouse effect factors

    The more greenhouse gases there are, the larger the percentage of heat that is trapped inside the earth's atmosphere and finally it is manifested in the form of Global warming.

  • How does Global Warming affect Climate Change.

    The main cause of the of warming is the increased atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect.

  • Environmental Concern throughout the World

    GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: GREENHOUSE EFFECT Globally, the greenhouse effect is important, but different countries react differently to the effect (e.g., global warming).

  • Greenhouse gases and the Theory of Global Warming

    496869 Greenhouse gases and the Theory of Global Warming 2-3 paragraphs (original work) The Greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases have increased as a result of human activities, (anthropogenic) primarily since the Industrial Revolution.

  • Healthcare & Environmental Factors

    leads to warming of the surface and lower atmosphere by increasing the greenhouse effect.

  • How Greenhouses Work

    The light is filtered through windows, but the heat and resulting oxygen is confined to the greenhouse? I believe that this situation does have a positive effect on growth. The greenhouse effect is a natural process.

  • Hot Topics in our Environment

    Global warming, Ozone depletion and acid rain are some of the burning environmental issue for the mankind. Global warming occurs due to excessive accumulation of Greenhouse gases (GHGs).

  • Industries Contributing to Greenhouse Effect

    Carbon dioxide is believed to be responsible for 50-70% of global warming.
