What is the greenhouse effect?
To understand global warming you first need to know about the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that controls the balance of heat within the earth’s atmosphere. It is the process whereby the natural layer of gases in our atmosphere trap a small percentage of the sun’s radiation reflected from the earth’s surface. Without the greenhouse effect, the average surface temperature would be about -18 degrees Celsius.
