Humans are increasing the intensity of the green house effect. Deforestation that is causing more CO2 to get stuck in the atmosphere because of the lack of plant life to intake it.. Poor conservation practices like bad emission standards and our reliance on oil and plastics and poor conservation efforts. Prior to the industrial revolution the greenhouses were in an equilibrium.

The Greenhoues Effect

By Ben Smith and David White

What does it do?

As earth gets warmer this causes climate change: rising temperatures, rising sea levels and changing weather patterns.

These rising temperatures are also causing ice caps to melt which is also causing sea levels to rise.

Changes in water patterns can damage water reasources and cause droughts and losses of stable irrigation for farming.

Rising sea levels cause a loss of land and can dramatically change the temperatures in marine habitats.

Rising temperatures have a direct negative impact on human health because we are exposed to high levels of heat that can cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke, heat cramps.

Green house gasses like carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide trap solar radiation in the atmosphere which causes warmer temperatures on earth. While the effect is mostly viewed as negative life on earth would not be able to exist without the effect.

The Human Effects

What is the process?

Step 7. The greenhouse molecules cause some of the radiation to be re-emitted back into the atmosphere.

This is called the green-house effect, the main cause of global warming.

Step 6. Some of the infrared radiation passes through the atmosphere and out into space.

Step 5. Solar radiation that makes it through the atmosphere is then converted into heart energy.

Step 4. Some of the solar radiation is reflected by earth's atmosphere back into space

Step 3. Earth's surface absorbs around half of the solar radiation

Step 2. Solar radiation passes through earth's atmosphere.

Step 1. Solar radiation leaves the sun headed towards earth.
