The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), absorb and store heat. This process is a natural process that helps to maintain the Earth’s temperature. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, resulting in an increased greenhouse effect and global warming. Researchers have found that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has risen dramatically since the industrial revolution, and is continuing to increase at a rapid rate. This has caused an increase in the Earth’s average temperature, leading to more extreme weather and other climate-related effects.
