Green House gases are nothing but the gas which comes from the vehicles and the Factories which we use.
The effect is the disappearance of the Snow cover in the Poles, Rise in the Sea water level Destruction to the Ice Animals Earth Quake Tsunami etc

After effect of global warming is Green house effect(i.e rise in temperature of earth surface)
After effect of greenhouse effect is - due to rise in temp the snow of the poles will melt as a result the cities near the shores will submerage.

The predicted effects of global warming are many and various, both for the environment and for human life. These effects include sea level rise, impacts on agriculture, reductions in the ozone layer, increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, and the spread of disease. In some cases, the effects may already be manifest, although it is difficult to attribute specific natural phenomena to long-term global warming. In particular, the relationship between global warming and hurricanes is still being debated. [29][30] A draft statement by the World Meteorological Organization acknowledges the differing viewpoints on this issue [31].
The extent and likelihood of these consequences is a matter of considerable controversy. A summary of possible effects and recent understanding can be found in the report of the IPCC Working Group II [32]. Some scientists believe global warming is already causing death and disease across the world through flooding, environmental destruction, heat waves and other extreme weather events.
green house effects--
Projected climate changes due to global warming have the potential to lead to future large-scale and possibly irreversible changes in our climate resulting in impacts at continental and global scales.
Examples of projected climate changes include:
significant slowing of the ocean circulation that transports warm water to the North Atlantic,
large reductions in the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice Sheets,
accelerated global warming due to carbon cycle feedbacks in the terrestrial biosphere, and
releases of terrestrial carbon from permafrost regions and methane from hydrates in coastal sediments.
The likelihood of many of these changes is uncertain. However, the probability of one or more of these changes occurring is likely to increase with the rate, magnitude, and duration of climate change.
The effects of global warming are not uniformly negative. Global warming will lead to climate change which will have positive benefits in some regions and negative effects in others. Scientists are unable to accurately predict when various effects of global warming will occur or what the magnitude of the effect will be.
For this reason, it is not possible to be certain whether the positive benefits will outweigh the negative impacts. What is known is that some significant negative impacts are projected and these drive most of the concern about global warming and motivates attempts to mitigate or adapt to the effects of global warming.
Most of the consequences of global warming would result from one of three physical changes: sea level rise, higher local temperatures, and changes in rainfall patterns (Figure 1). Sea level is generally expected to rise 50-200 cm in the next century (Dean et al. 1987); such a rise would inundate 7,000 square miles of dry land in the United States (an area the size of Massachusetts) and a similar amount of coastal wetlands; erode recreational beaches 100-200 meters, exacerbate coastal flooding; and increase the salinity of aquifers and estuaries (Titus 1989).

Some people say terrible hurricanes, such as Hurricane Katrina. We get a thinner atmosphere/ozone layer and hotter weather each and every year- it's November and it's warm, for example. Glaciers are melting, causing a rise in sea level.

Both are natural processes that have already happened in the world's history. It generally causes warm conditions and then temperatures eventually drop, then the process repeats.

Rise in sea level, extreme weather conditions and heat stroke due to contact with ultra-violet rays caused by ozone depletion.

Worst case scenario? Severe droughts, followed by severe cold weather where it's usually warm. If you want to read a book that really paints a scary picture, check this one out:

No such thing as "global warming" ... just a money-making fallacy by activists.
