Detailed explanation-1: -The enhanced greenhouse effect, sometimes referred to as climate change or global warming, is the impact on the climate from the additional heat retained due to the increased amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that humans have released into the earths atmosphere since the industrial revolution.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Climate change” and “global warming” are often used interchangeably but have distinct meanings.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lower atmosphere is likely to warm, changing weather and climate. Thus, the enhanced greenhouse effect is additional to the natural greenhouse effect and is due to human activity changing the make-up of the atmosphere. (The enhanced greenhouse effect is often referred to as global warming.)

Detailed explanation-4: -The greenhouse effect: some of the infrared radiation from the Sun passes through the atmosphere, but most is absorbed and re-emitted in all directions by greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. The effect of this is to warm the Earth’s surface and the lower atmosphere.
