‘Green House Effect’

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that occurs when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, trap heat from the sun. These gases act like a blanket, preventing some of the sun's energy from escaping back into space and thereby keeping our planet's temperature within a habitable range. However, human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have significantly increased the concentration of these greenhouse gases, leading to an enhanced greenhouse effect. This intensified trapping of heat has resulted in global warming and climate change, with potentially devastating consequences for the environment and ecosystems. Mitigating the greenhouse effect through sustainable practices and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is critical to addressing the challenges of a warming planet.
