We need to remind ourselves that our ultimate goal is not to reduce greenhouse gases or global warming per se but to improve the quality of life and the environment. We all want to leave the planet in decent shape for our kids. Radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not necessarily the best way to achieve that.

You know what I always dreamed of? That with the greenhouse effect, one day Estonia can be what L.A. is right now. I always thought when the end of the world comes, I want to be in Estonia. I think then I'd survive.

There's a lot to do in space. I want to learn more about the greenhouse effect on Venus, about whether there was life on Mars, about the environment in which Earth and the Sun is immersed, the behavior of the Sun.

American Scientist

Greta Thunburg

We should no longer measure our wealth and success in the graph that shows economic growth, but in the curve that shows the emissions of greenhouse gases.

Swedish Environmentalist

Nicholas Stern

The greenhouse effect is something you can observe experimentally - and most people have observed the greenhouse effect themselves, in greenhouses. Yes?

English Economist

Joe Sestak

Nuclear power can continue to help us reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, but we must do everything we can to make it safer.

American Politician

Zazie Beetz

Agriculture is one of the biggest causes of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Cars? Planes? Trains? Nope. Cow farts.

Even if we were to stop putting out greenhouse gases right now, we'd still face decades of warming.

American Writer

Elon Musk

You could warm Mars up, over time, with greenhouse gases.

South African Businessman

William Cowper

Who loves a garden loves a greenhouse too.

English Poet

Used for places where temperature and conditions are controlled to grow plants.

Cultivation Clarity

Often made of glass or clear plastic to let in sunlight for plants.

Structure Type

Emphasizes the ability to grow plants out of their typical season.

Seasonal Use

Refers to gases contributing to Earth's warming, an important environmental topic.

Climate Impact

The greenhouse effect is natural and necessary for life, but excess is harmful.

Not Always Bad

Some confuse 'ozone layer depletion' with 'greenhouse effect'; they're different issues.

Common Misunderstanding

 The greenhouse effect is another example. Some of the solar radiation that hits the Earth's surface is reflected back to the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, like water vapor and carbon dioxide absorb this radiation and speed up. These hotter, faster-moving molecules emit infrared radiation in all directions,

 It's more than all our electricity. It's more than all other manufacturing, in fact. It's the single largest emitter of greenhouse gases of any human activity in the world. And yet, we don't talk about it very much. So we have this incredible presence today of agriculture dominating our planet,

 Sunlight warms the surface and atmosphere in varying amounts, and this causes convection, producing winds and influencing ocean currents. Infrared radiation, radiating out from the warmed surface of the Earth, gets trapped by greenhouse gases and further affects the energy flow.
