Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect is a critical environmental phenomenon that plays a pivotal role in regulating the Earth's temperature. It involves the absorption and re-emission of infrared radiation by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. While this natural process is essential for maintaining a habitable climate, human activities, particularly the combustion of fossil fuels, have significantly intensified the greenhouse effect. This heightened effect contributes to global warming and climate change, impacting ecosystems, weather patterns, and sea levels. Understanding the greenhouse effect is crucial for addressing and mitigating the anthropogenic influences on our planet's climate system.
