The greenhouse effect is about

• warming the atmosphere because of increased CO₂ levels

• warming the atmosphere because of decreased CO_{2 }levels

• cooing the atmosphere because of increased CO_{2 }levels

• cooling the atmosphere because of decreased CO_{2 }levels

• have volcanoes erupting everywhere

• Cool to a point where we could not live here

• Catch on fire

• blow up from being hit by meteors
