As greenhouse gases increase, so does the temperature of the Earth The rise in Earth's average temperature contributed to by human activity is known as global warming The Greenhouse Effect and Climate Change Even slight increases in average global temperatures can have huge effectsThe greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere Radiatively active gases (ie, greenhouse gases) in a planet's atmosphere radiate energy in all directionsPart of this radiation is directed towards the surface, thus warming it If the greenhouse gases increase in the atmosphere, absorption of solar energy will also increase As a result earth's temperature will increase, which will in turn cause disturbance in global climate This unwanted effect is termed as Global Warming Effects of Global Warming Global warming increases the temperature of earth's surface as
