The problem is that our increased release of greenhouse gases is causing an increase in the greenhouse effect called the enhanced greenhouse effect This is  An enhanced greenhouse effect from CO2 has been confirmed by multiple lines of empirical evidence Satellite measurements of infrared spectra over the past 40 years observe less energy escaping to space at the wavelengths associated with CO2 Surface measurements find more downward infrared radiation warming the planet's surface The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by "greenhouse gases" These heattrapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides Kids Corner Enhanced greenhouse effect definition
