Thawing will produce a global rise in sea level and the release of more methane, among other consequences. The decrease in agricultural and livestock production will bring about the food shortage. Reducing emissions of the so-called greenhouse gases, such as CO 2 or CH 4 is not the only solution to curb the greenhouse effect.
International organisations also agree on the following recommendations:. Climate action is synonymous with any policy, measure or programme that works to reduce greenhouse gases, builds resilience to climate change or supports and finances those objectives.
The Paris Agreement was the first major international agreement towards those ends. Skip to main content. You are in Environment Consequences of the greenhouse effect. Share in Twitter.

Numerous gases that are part of the atmosphere absorb the Earth's infra-red radiation, producing an increase in the temperature of the surface of our planet and the atmospheric layer that surrounds it. Radiation escaping into space. Evolution of CO 2. CO 2 is the gas that contributes the most to the greenhouse effect. We present the history of emissions in the world during the last decade. Let's find out about the main consequences of this phenomenon: Thawing of glacial masses Glaciers retreat also has its own consequences: reduced albedo — the percentage of solar radiation that the earth's surface reflects or returns to the atmosphere —, a global rise in sea level and the release of large methane columns are only some of them, however, they are all dramatic for the planet.

Students read to create an initial conceptual model of the greenhouse effect. They then collect temperature data from a physical demonstration simulating atmospheres with and without greenhouse gases and calculate and compare the mean, median, and range. Finally, they revise their model of the greenhouse effect using their data analysis and an interactive.

Community Planning and Development Commission. Permanent Building Committee. Without its atmosphere and the greenhouse effect, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth would be zero degrees Fahrenheit. However, too many greenhouse gases can cause the temperature to increase out of control. Such is the case on Venus where greenhouse gases are abundant and the average temperature at the surface is more than degrees Fahrenheit degrees Celsius.
