greenhouse effec The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature of the Earth because certain gases in the atmosphere such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, trap energy from the sun. These greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earth's atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infrared radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space. The greenhouse effect is important. Without the greenhouse effect, the Earth would not be warm enough for humans to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the Earth warmer than usual which is called global warming. Following is the causes of global warming which are suspected to be caused by human and the impact of the global warming towards human health, ecological system and sea level. Global warming happens because of the excess emission of the greenhouse gases from the industrial revolution. According to the Schneider, Stephen H (1989) finding, the greenhouse gases include Carbon dioxide, methane, cfcs and nitrous oxide. Since the industrial revolution, the increasing quantities of fossil fuels have been burnt and the carbon locked up in them is released into the a Effect of Pollution The year is 1969. Trash and pollution continue to pile up upon the Cuyahoga River. After many years of neglect, the pollution has reached its breaking point, and the river catches on fire. The city raced to put out the fire but was helpless. All they could do was watch helplessly as the fire burned itself out. Cleveland’s major waterway has caught on fire due to the carelessness of the city and its people. The fire could have been prevented if people would have taken the time to keep the river clean. Protection of the environment is vital. Without protecting the environment, it will become a very inhospitable place for our generation and generations to come.
