Question

As a student in an environmental science class, you have been asked to explain the greenhouse effect and the problem we face, in regards to global warming with increasing greenhouse gas emissions. You decide to use an analogy to help your other classmates understand how the increase in greenhouse gases will play a role in the greenhouse effect and global warming. All BUT ONE of these analogies is correct. A) The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is like wearing a sweatshirt while you are running. B) The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is like putting on extra layers of clothes during the winter. C) The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is like placing an extra log on the fire to produce more heat. D) The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is like pulling an extra blanket over you while lying on the couch.

Answer 1

C) The increase in greenhouse gas emissions is like placing an extra log on the fire to produce more heat.

Explanation:

The increase in greenhouse gas emission cannot be likened to placing an extra log on the fire to produce more heat.

In essence, the earth is not receiving more heat than usual from the sun. It is not getting more heated.

• Greenhouse gases prevents heat from being lost from the earth surface as long wave radiation.
• This in turn will warm and heat the earth surface.
• The more the greenhouse gases, the more heat that is trapped within the earth.
• The greenhouse gases is the cover that prevents heat from being lost.
• Global warming is what results.
• An increase in heating might not cause warming of the house if the house is open.
• So also, if the earth receives more energy from the sun, the temperature might not increase if no greenhouse cover is available.

Other analogies shows heating(global warming) and cover(greenhouse gases) except of C.
