7 lis 2017 · Modelling of human-induced climate change involves simulating the enhanced greenhouse effect that increased greenhouse gas concentrations have on the overall radiation balance of the planet. This is often referred to as ‘radiative forcing of climate change’.
What is the enhanced greenhouse effect? Global warming (or global heating) is attributed to the enhanced greenhouse effect. This is caused by the increased concentration of greenhouse gases...
The greenhouse effect is essential to life on Earth, but human-made emissions in the atmosphere are trapping and slowing heat loss to space. Five key greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons, and water vapor.
Enhanced Greenhouse effect 'Greenhouse gases' are actually crucial to keeping our planet at a habitable temperature, without them the Earth would be about minus 17 degrees! Anthropogenic or human release of carbon dioxide is what is contributing to an additional or enhanced greenhouse effect.
An increase in the concentration of GHGs increases the magnitude of this effect; the difference is sometimes called the enhanced greenhouse effect. The change in a GHG concentration because of anthropogenic emissions contributes to an instantaneous radiative forcing.
The theory behind the enhanced greenhouse effect is that human activities can load the atmosphere with too much carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases. This could increase Earth's temperature above that expected from the natural greenhouse effect, an effect known as global warming.
