The video tutorial explains the greenhouse effect, first proposed by Joseph Fourier in 1824, as the warming of Earth's surface due to gases that trap solar energy. These greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and others. Without this effect, Earth would be too cold for life. The video details how the greenhouse effect works and highlights the impact of human activities like pollution and deforestation, which increase greenhouse gases and lead to global warming. It also suggests ways to reduce these gases, such as recycling and using energy-efficient products.
