The green house effect is an important natural process. Without it, the earth would be too cold for the survival of living organisms. When the light counters the Earth's atmosphere some of this solar radiation if reflected back into space. As the Earth is warmed-heat in the form of infrared radiation is radiated back into space.
However much of this heat does not escape from the atmosphere but remains trapped by the green house gases. At the same time green house gases also radiate heat in the form of infrared radiation back to the panels of green house which trap heat and warm the green house called green house affect.
As the concentration of the green house gases rises the green house effect become more pronounced. As more heat is wrapped in the atmosphere, the earth average temperature rises. Why the concentrations of green house gases increasing ? Scientists believe that the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities such as deforestation and industrial production are the primary reasons for the increased concentration at atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Today carbon dioxide form coal fired power stations and vehicle exhausts in the main green house gas other contributory pollutants includes, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. The data collected around the world show a steady increase in the concentration of green house gases. Thus, we should save our Earth from pollution and be a part of saving our Earth.
Go Green!
