What is the difference between greenhouse effect,global warming and climate changes?

Answer 1

Absolutely Nothing

It’s so sad that people have been defrauded by money hungry scientist to exploit taxpayers to pay for their dismal education as scientist as well as money hungry people controller politicians.

It's not about the environment it’s about the government controlling the businesses, people's liberty and life choices.

Bottom line it all about money and who is trying to control the world to get it. AMEN.

Show me the money!!! Is the secret cheer of these lop-side liberty-controllers.

So don't be fooled down the slippery path of chaining or freedom and liberty to the morgue.

Here in the USA we have done more in the 38+ years to improve the environment.
Coors Brewery was the first to go to recycling aluminum cans and had a little magnet the gave away so you can tell if the can was steel or aluminum; of course this knowledge is not politically correct to those who want to control the world like Gore, Kerry Clinton (Bill & Hilary) Etc.

So go now and spread the true knowledge and not be left to the left devices otherwise you will be left-out. That what is the difference between greenhouse effect, global warming and climate changes? Is all of us and liberty taken away by these frauds who try to say the earth is warming the earth is warming as chicken littles and be more concern that Yeshua/Jesus is coming.

As for me I recycle and do my part to help earth air and water have a better life as should all people do the same. But to stand up and say something that is not scientifically true is fraud on their part and they should be punished for it and not rewarded with billions of research etc money out of our hard working paychecks and lives

Answer 2

The greenhouse effect is how gases get trapped inside our atmosphere and heat up the earth. Global warming is the hype name for climate change. Climate change is what happens to earth in pretty regular cycles since the dawn of time. We happen to be in a warming stage in this cycle at the moment, but when we get to the point that enough of the glaciers have melted and freshwater has shut down the thermal haline conveyor, the earth will feel a drastic drop (well, drastic to us humans, it will be a few degrees). This will cause the north atlantic area (the eastern seaboard, western europe) to become much colder. This will also spark a big rise in weather events such as droughts, floods, tornados and hurricanes throughout the rest of the world. The earth will then be in a cooling period, which will last until the glaciers re-freeze enough to start the conveyor again and begin the next warming cycle.

That was as quick and simple as I could explain it. The research I've done has been more from a historical perspective too. Someone with a science background could explain it in more detail I'm sure.

Answer 3

Greenhouse effect is the mechanism where heat is trapped because outgoing infrared light is blocked, either by the glass walls of a greenhouse or my certain gasses in the air. Changes in the amount of greenhouse gasses in the air could cause climate change.

Global Warming is the increasing average temperature of the Earth. The average can be hard to compute, because you have to average out the cold poles with the hot tropics, and the cold winters with the hot summers.

Climate Change is any change in the long term average weather. It could be colder or warmer, wetter or dryer. Global warming would be one kind of climate change.

Answer 4

Greenhouse effect is a physical property of the atmosphere (condition) which results in global warming (cause) which manifests itself as climate change (effect).

The greenhouse effect is a simplified term for the physical interaction between atmospheric components and themal and solar radiation. Basically, our atmosphere acts in a similar way to a greenhouse and that it traps heat within it.

Global warming is a term largely used by the media to describe the overall warming trend that the planet is experiencing. Most times the media fail to make any distinction natural global warming and anthropogenic (manmade) global warming - two very different things.

Climate change describes how global warming impacts on our climate. Some people think that climate change is the new name for global warming - it's not, the two things are separate. Global warming is the cause and climate change is the effect.

Answer 5

I must add something to the first answer...
The climatic changes (when the weather will cool down) will also affect all the west coast of the US and Canada, as the El nino current will retract enough or even disapear to stop influencing weather on the coastal area... So my guess is that its gonna get cold there...

About the Greenhouse effects, this is nothing compare to the black snow, the thermal vents (at the bottom of the oceans) and overall humitidy retentions of our forests...

As for the global warming, it is the first phase in the climatic shift (or change as you like), the second phase is cooling, or mini ice age...

Answer 6

The real problem is global cooling. Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its weakest Schwabe solar cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth.

Beginning to plan for adaptation to such a cool period, one which may continue well beyond one 11-year cycle, as did the Little Ice Age, should be a priority for governments. It is global cooling, not warming, that is the major climate threat to the world, especially Canada. As a country at the northern limit to agriculture in the world, it would take very little cooling to destroy Canadian food crops.

Answer 7

The greenhouse effect causes global warming which causes global climate change.

The greenhouse effect is partially caused by molecules like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which allow sunlight to pass through but absorb heat.

Answer 8

I like = ^_^ ='s answer for it's accuracy and simplicity.

But Dana's answer was the best for comic relief. The Greenhouse effect is caused by molecules like CO2 - that's like explaining to a neophyte hockey fan that hockey is played by African-Americans. While true, it goes so far out of way to avoid the majority ethnicity that it reeks of purposeful deception. Why not go with a bunch of white Canadians for one answer and water vapor for the other.

(To clarify, white Canadians do not create the Greenhouse effect...)
