What is the main difference between the natural greenhouse effect and the greenhouse effect intensified by humans?

• The natural greenhouse effect allows more heat to escape into space.

• The natural greenhouse effect traps more heat in the atmosphere.

• The greenhouse effect intensified by humans allows more heat to escape into space.

• The greenhouse effect intensified by humans has no impact on heat retention.

Which gas is primarily responsible for the greenhouse effect intensified by humans?

• Oxygen (O2)
