Question

Which statement is false about the greenhouse effect

• A. Life on earth is possible due to the green house effect
• B. The greenhouse effect is a natural process that maintains the earth's temperature
• C. Increased emission of greenhouse gases is a natural process
• D. Increased emission of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere increases earth's temperature.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Increased emission of greenhouse gases is a natural process

The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is one of the things that makes Earth a comfortable place to live. Increased emission of greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane , CFCs etc) in the atmosphere increases earth's temperature.
