There would be a much more severe caae of global warming if there is a sudden increase in greenshouses gases.

With greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, the heat of the earth cannot be penentrated throught the atmosphere and will be trapped, the sunlight also cannot be reflected. This will cause the temperature of the earth’s surface to rise greatly.

The ice of the polar will melt resulting in the increase of water level globally. The increase of water level, when all the ice melt, will flood over some places in countires, even flooding the countries in low lying areas such as Japan.

It will also cause an imbalance in the ecosystem as some of the organisms require a certain temperature to facilitate its growth. With the high temperature, some types of organisms might not be able to survive while the organisms that favors high temperature will have a growth that distrupt the ecosystem. For example, coral reef will die if the temperature exceed 29°c.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

Earth would suddenly warm up because more heat from the atmosphere would be radiated toward Earth's surface.

Answer:

The temperature of the earth is first heated by the presence of the earth internal factors and then by the external factors.

Explanation:

All the gases in the atmosphere cannot absorb the entire radiation given from the sun directly, so the earth's surface gets heated directly first and then re-radiated back to the sky.

The Water vapor and carbon dioxide are known as the primary reason for the heating of the earth's atmosphere form the below and they tend to trap the amount of the solar heat and thus heat the surface-atmosphere first and they then give output of this energy in the form of the long waves radiation and thus influences the temperatures of the earth at the night time. Thus forming a greenhouse effect of gases.
