Current thinking is people and industry burning/combusting too much fosssil fuels.
However, The oceans hold a lot of CO2 in solution. It known that it water heats up it will release any dissolved gases; think of a kettle boiling. So more could be coming from ocean warming. Ocean warming could be caused by the Sun hesting the water, or the Earth's internal 'radiator'(Mantle/core) releasing more heat , thereby warming the ocean.
Human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to an enhanced greenhouse effect and global warming.

How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What is the source of radiation for both earth's atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
What percent of greenhouse gases make up earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases make up about 1% of Earth's atmosphere. The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor, followed by carbon dioxide, methane, and others. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to climate change.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
What causes the earth to have to many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
people burning fossle fules.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What causes earth surface to get warm?
Sunlight. The warmth rises into the atmosphere where some is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases then warm the earth's surface again.
What is the source of radiation for both earth's atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What in the earth's atmosphere absorbs heat?
Greenhouse gases.
Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
Which form of radiation given off by the earth causes heating of the earth's atmosphere?
Infrared radiation is the form of radiation given off by the Earth that causes heating of the Earth's atmosphere. This radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which traps heat and warms the planet.
What percent of greenhouse gases make up earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases make up about 1% of Earth's atmosphere. The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor, followed by carbon dioxide, methane, and others. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to climate change.
How much surface area of the earth is covered by greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, are part of the Earth's atmosphere; as such, they cover all of the Earth's surface. The whole world is covered by atmosphere.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
