 Article

Throughout its long history, Earth has warmed and cooled time
and again. Climate has changed when the planet received more
or less sunlight due to subtle shifts in its orbit, as the atmosphere
or surface changed, or when the Suns energy varied. But in the
past century, another force has started to influence Earths
climate: humanity.
How does this warming compare to previous changes in Earths
climate? How can we be certain that human-released greenhouse
gases are causing the warming? How much more will the Earth
warm? How will Earth respond? Answering these questions is
perhaps the most significant scientific challenge of our time.

Conclusion
It can be concluded from this article that humans has a huge role in greenhouse
gases effects which leads to global warming.
Language Used

 Second Reflection on Global Effects of Greenhouse Gases

My second reflection I also learned that global greenhouse

gases would have a major effect on humans life many years to
come in the future and if we cannot get rid of the extent waste in
the atmosphere, it may lead to extinction. I have learned that
burning carbon and working factories have big roles in producing
excessive greenhouse gases and would be responsible for its
side effects.
 First Reflection on Global effects of Greenhouse Gases
The main effect of increased greenhouse gas emissions is
global warming. Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and
fluorinated gases all help trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere as a
part of the greenhouse effect. The Earth's natural greenhouse
effect makes life as we know it possible. However, human
activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation,
have intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming.

Effects of increased greenhouse gas emissions

Increases in the different greenhouse gases have other effects apart
from global warming including ocean acidification, smog pollution,
ozone depletion as well as changes to plant growth and nutrition
levels.

Global Warming: Greenhouse gas levels have been increasing

since the start of the Industrial Revolution, but over the last few
decades growth has been particularly fast. Total greenhouse gas
emissions have increased by about 80% since 1970 creating a
radiative force. Global warming is harming the environment in
several ways including: Desertification, increased melting of snow
and ice, sea level rise and stronger storms and extreme events.
 Changes to plant Growth and nutrition levels: Since plants
need carbon dioxide to grow, if there are higher amounts in the
air, plant growth can increase. Experiments where carbon
dioxide concentrations were raised by around 50% increased
crop growth by around 15%. Higher levels of carbon dioxide
makes carbon more available, but plants also need other
nutrients (like nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.) to grow and survive.
Without increases in those nutrients as well, the nutritional
quality of many plants will decrease.

Smog and ozone pollution: Over the last century, global

background ozone concentrations have become 2 times larger
due mainly to increases in methane and nitrogen oxides caused
by human emissions. At ground level, ozone is an air pollutant
that is a major component of smog which is dangerous for both
humans and plants.
