Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The greenhouse effect is not all bad. What is one consequence if we did not have the greenhouse effect on Earth?
A
humans couldn’t suvive because it would be too cold
B
we wouldn’t be able to go outside becuase it would be too hot
C
we wouldn’t have air to breathe
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Without the natural greenhouse effect, the heat emitted by the Earth would simply pass outwards from the Earth’s surface into space and the Earth would have an average temperature of about-20°C.

Detailed explanation-2: -Effects of greenhouse gases They cause climate change by trapping heat, and they also contribute to respiratory disease from smog and air pollution. Extreme weather, food supply disruptions, and increased wildfires are other effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gases.

Detailed explanation-3: -The increased number of factories and automobiles increases the amount of these gases in the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases never let the radiations escape from the earth and increase the surface temperature of the earth. This then leads to global warming.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: Solution: Greenhouse effect is a process by which solar radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases and the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere is increased. This increase in the temperature of the surroundings is responsible for global warming.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the absence of greenhouse gases, the average temperature of the Earth will decrease drastically, making it uninhabitable. As a result, life on Earth would be impossible.
