Greenhouse effect

 Greenhouse effect + enhanced 

• The greenhouse effect is a positive effect on earth: it keeps the heat on the earth. Without the greenhouse effect it would be minus 18 degrees celcius.
• The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by too much emission of CO2.                                                                                               ->   This causes global warming, the melting of ice, rising sealevels etc.
