Question

Explain why the greenhouse effect is not entirely a man-made phenomenon.

Answer 1

Answer:The greenhouse effect is not a man-made phenomenon. The Earth's atmosphere has always contained greenhouse gases, such as CO2, and they have always caused warming. If there was no greenhouse effect, the planet would be uninhabitably cold – more than 30C colder than the hospitable current average of 15c

Explanation:

Answer 2

While many human activities produce greenhouse gases, the greenhouse effect is actually a natural process. Many atmospheric gases help trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, including natural gases like carbon dioxide. So while human activities exacerbate the natural greenhouse effect, it is not solely due to them.
