Greenhouse effect and Global Warming

is the long-term heating of Earth's surface observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere. This term is not interchangeable with the term "climate change."

The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by

• Oxygen

• Nitrogen

• Carbon Dioxide

• Greenhouse Gases

A colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.

• Carbon Dioxide

• Greenhouse gases

• Nitrogen

• Oxygen

As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun's heat. This leads to global warming and climate change. The world is now warming faster than at any point in recorded history. Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature.
