The term ‘Greenhouse effect’ is closely related to ‘effects of global warming’ and ‘climate change’. Let's take a brief look at the various aspects of the 'Greenhouse effect'.
Greenhouse effect and
Effects of global warming
Last month, July 2019, was the hottest month on human
history. This means that globally, normal climate and temperatures now seem to be
rising year by year. The causes of this climate change especially pollution,
overcrowding and the general neglect of humanity. However, we can directly
point to two factors that contribute to global warming - global warming and the
effect of the greenhouse. Let’s see more about them in this article about the
effect of greenhouse.
The earth's surface is surrounded by an envelope, or
atmosphere, which we call the atmosphere. The gases in the atmosphere absorb
infrared rays that produce heat on the earth's surface. In ideal conditions,
this effect creates a global temperature of 15c. And without such a practice
life would be impossible on earth.
However, due to rapid industrial growth and increasing
pollution, greenhouse gases have increased dramatically over the past few
centuries. This, in turn, causes more radiation to be trapped in the earth's
atmosphere. And as a result, temperatures over the planet are slowly rising.
This is what we are referring to when we talk about the man-made greenhouse
effect.
What is the meaning of the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the action word that makes the
earth look like a greenhouse. Just as the greenhouse absorbs heat, so the
earth's atmosphere absorbs the sun's rays. This causes global warming.
Scientists believe that the greenhouse gases are the source
of the greenhouse effect. These greenhouse gases such as (carbon dioxide - co2,
methane - CH4, water vapor, etc that trap excess heat cause global warming,
Heat Gases
These gases or molecules are naturally present in Earth's
atmosphere. However, they too are exempt from human activity. These gases play
a vital role in trapping the sun's heat and thus gradually warming the earth's
temperature. The earth is inhabited by humans because of the balance of energy that
you absorb and the energy you display back in space.
List of greenhouse gases
• Methane.
• Carbon Dioxide.
• CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
• Nitrous oxide.
Causes of Greenhouse Effect
There are two broad causes for the greenhouse effect:
I. Natural Causes
dioxide is present in the oceans, plant decay is due to
forest fires and other animal dung produces methane, and nitrogen oxide is
present in water and land.
2. Water vapor 1. Some elements that exist on Earth produce
gases that absorb heat naturally. For example, carbon raises the temperature by
absorbing energy in the event of an increase in humidity.
3. Humans and animals take in oxygen and release carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere.
II. Man-Made Causes
1. The combustion of fossil fuels, such as oil and coal,
releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, causing a catastrophic greenhouse
effect. Also, when coal is mined or a source of oil, methane is released from
the Earth, which pollutes it.
2. Trees with the help of photosynthesis process absorb
carbon dioxide and release oxygen. As a result of deforestation, carbon dioxide
levels continue to rise steadily. This is also a major cause of the increase in
the greenhouse effect.
3. To get a good harvest, farmers use artificial nitrogen in
their fields. This releases nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere.
4. Industries emit harmful gases into the atmosphere such as
methane, carbon dioxide, and fluorine gas. These also develop globally
List Causes of Greenhouse Effect
• Pollutants (especially CFS) create holes in the ozone
layer, allowing the sun's rays to penetrate the atmosphere.
• Methane and other gases form a layer in the atmosphere
that absorbs the sun's rays inside.
• Fuel burners emit greenhouse gases.
• Aerosols spraying usually relieve CFCs.
• Driving vehicles emit greenhouse gases.
• Deforestation also damages the ozone layer.
• Industrial chimneys emit greenhouse gases.
• The aviation industry is a major polluting environment.
• Animal farming produces a large amount of methane, as
follows:
• Eating meat contributes to heat.
Other Greenhouse Effect results
Even in the face of overwhelming evidence, there are still
people who deny the existence of climate change and its destructive pitfalls.
However, many results and pieces of evidence for climate change are now
undeniable. The surface temperature of the planet has risen by 1c since the
19th century. This change is largely due to the increase in carbon dioxide
emissions. Significant damage has been seen in the last 35 years especially.
Oceans and seas are absorbed by this rising temperature. The
surface of these seas saw a temperature of 0.4c. Glaciers and glaciers also
decrease rapidly. The level of melting of Antartica ice has tripled in the last
decade. These statistics and alarming facts are evidence of the imminent
catastrophe we are facing.
How to prevent greenhouse effect
• Drive slowly - save fuel to keep it from burning.
• I eat less - save fat so it doesn't burn.
• Reduce consumption.
• Reuse, recycle, renew, and reuse.
• Use a few sprays - sometimes they also contain toxic
substances.
• Stop using fossil fuels - where fossil fuels such as coal,
oil, etc.
• Switch to renewable energy.
• Buy from environmentally friendly companies.
• A campaign to encourage others to do the same.
