Greenhouse affect?

Question

I know the green house affect keeps heat in the atmosphere and then radiates it back to space. But what else does it do 4 humans and animals?

Answer 1

Its essential for life to exist on the planet. It keeps the sun from burning us up by creating a shield. Its also creates C02 which is used by plant life to produce oxygen.

When looking into this subject, beware of people who claim that global warming is caused by humans. It is most likely influenced mostly by the sun because Mars is also undergoing ice cap decay just like Earth. The jury is still out about climate change and man's role if there is one, but one thing we do know for certain is that there are political agendas to promote socialistic politics. Even if man was partially responsible, if humans changed entirely, there would only be a slight difference of a degree or two in temperature change. I think we should get off fossil fuels because it makes us dependent upon unstable nations for our energy supply, not because of global warming.

Top scientists have refuted man's affect on the climate such as Astrophysicist Nir Shariv who stated, "Solar activity can explain a large part of the 20th-century global warming. Particularly because of the evidence that has been accumulating over the past decade of the strong relationship that cosmic-rays have on our atmosphere."

"The sun's strong role indicates that greenhouse gases can't have much of an influence on the climate."

Even doubling the amount of CO2 by 2100, for example, "will not dramatically increase the global temperature."

Oregon state climatologist, George Taylor said that "the global warming seen in the past century is caused largely by natural events, including cyclical climate patterns and solar fluctuations linked with cosmic rays and changes in cloud cover." Mr Taylor was recently fired by the Oregon governor for his "scientific" views.

I don't think there is a debate about whether global warming is occurring, but the idea that it is man made is a myth. Remember, the UN that came out with a recent report about climate change is a political entity that has done many things to prove it is not a credible, un-biased source. A recent example is the oil for food scandal that diverted millions of dollars to UN members and others. Also, even if there was man made climate change, China (the world's second-largest greenhouse gas emitter) and India are not going to embrace fossil fuel consumption.

Additionally, many scientists disagree about climate change and 17,000 signed a petition against the Kyoto treaty. Unfortunately, the sales focussed media who know little about this, spin it to suit their own opinions. So, its highly debatable whether humans are influencing global warming. Another thing to consider is that every 11,500 years, the earth goes through a major extinction with a global warming and cooling phase (ice age.) Paleontologists are able to track this through soil samples. We may actually be headed into an ice age because we are coming to the tail end of the current cycle. The problem is that the media and politicians get focussed on a piece of the puzzle and try to simplify this issue. Don't be fooled. There is probably nothing humans can do. Even if we could, there is no way you can control China who is becoming a major world polluter. Humans will need to adapt to climate change. Where I live there are small changes in our weather pattern, but nothing major. A lot of the media is hype to sell newspapers. The only caution is that some past climate changes have been more radical, swinging wildly from hot to cold. Others have brought on instant and severe cold conditions. I know the area that I live used to be buried in hundreds on feet of ice, but temperatures are mild today... Humans will just need to wait and see what mother nature brings and adapt as necessary.

And as for Al, I think his mouth and utility bills are a main cause of green house emmisions....

Answer 2

There 2 major gases the environmentalist claim is what is doing the greenhouse effect . The problem is they picked the wrong gas. CO2 is a very heavy gas and lays on the ground How can it trap any gas next to the earth ,it can not be. CO2 is also mostly taken care of by the plants.
Then methane , the environmentalist want u to believe there is a large amount in the atmosphere. Well they are partly right ,methane is very light and goes very high in our atmosphere . It is not there where did it go to???

Answer 3

The heavy gases and particulates quit the warmth from escaping the earth, on a similar time as fluorocarbons wreck the ozone layer than blocks various the gamma rays that harm animal tissue. it's going to be like the carboniferous era whilst the ambience replaced into crammed with count from volcanic eruptions. The Antarctic replaced into then a heat continent.. Dinosaurs have been reptiles and would desire to stand the warmth extra acceptable than mammals. Will snakes and lizards take over the international?

Answer 4

plants, in cold countries are generally stored in glass houses to retain moisture for growth. this house is called green house. due to pollution many gases gets stored in the atmosphere hence not allowing them to escape. this causes global warming which has serious consequenses. the above mentioned phenomenon is termed as green house effect.

Answer 5

It keeps plants in proper temperature so it doesnt get to hot. It helps them survive.

Answer 6

Kills us
