A History of Global Climate Change

Question 5 • SC332 Environmental Science B

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

Answer

Answer:

The greenhouse effect occurs naturally because gases in Earth’s atmosphere, including water vapor and carbon dioxide, absorb and re-emit heat. This natural process helps keep the planet warm enough for life. Human activities add more greenhouse gases and strengthen the effect, but they did not create it.
