Climate Change and Greenhouse Effect

The natural process is the greenhouse effect and the Earth would be 16 ℃ cooler without it.

The main difference is that the enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by human activities, which increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to a warming effect.

The main greenhouse gases are CO2, methane, NO2, and CFCs, and they are released through human activities such as energy production, industry, transport, and farming.
