what are the causes and environmental implications of the greenhouse effect?
Consequences of greenhouse-effect temperature rises. Predicting the consequences of global warming is one of the most difficult tasks for the worldâs climate researchers. This is because the natural processes that cause rain, hail and snow storms, increases in sea level and other expected effects of global warming are dependent on many different factors.
Most climate scientists agree the main cause of the current global warming trend is human expansion of the greenhouse effect1 â warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space. Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping.
