The greenhouse effect refers to the process by which certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming of the planet's surface and lower atmosphere. These greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor) absorb and emit infrared radiation, which would otherwise escape into space. While this natural phenomenon is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature conducive to life, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, have significantly increased greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. This amplifies the greenhouse effect, causing an enhanced trapping of heat and leading to global warming and climate change. The consequences include rising temperatures, altered weather patterns, sea level rise, and impacts on ecosystems and human societies worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for mitigation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change effects.
