13 - Additional Greenhouse Effect

13 ° C - 18 ° C 15 ° C Efecto Invernadero Radiación infraroja Reflexión Insolación Efecto invernadero adicional
Set 1 www.climatefresk.org 13 El efecto invernadero es un fenómeno natural. De hecho, el principal GEI natural es el vapor de agua. Sin el efecto invernadero natural, la temperatura del planeta sería 33 ° C más fría y la vida como la conocemos no sería posible. Sin embargo, las emisiones de CO 2 y otros GEI derivados de las actividades humanas incrementan el efecto invernadero y desequilibran el clima.

Causes

Other GHGs

Other GHGs

the "G" and the "H" on card 9 relate to "GreenHouse" on card 13.
Concentration of CO2 (ppm)

Concentration of CO2 (ppm)

You can recognize the molecules of the different GHGs on the card 13 : H2O (red and white), CO2 (grey and red), CH4 (grey and white), nitrious (blue and red).

Consequence

Radiative Forcing

Additional Greenhouse Effect

The expression "Greenhouse Effect" is written on both sides (as of last version, October 2018).

Other possible cause

Permafrost

Permafrost

The permafrost card can be linked either to Other GHGs or to Additional Greenhouse Effect. The Other GHGs card is about GHGs emitted by human activities, while the methane in permafrost is not of human origin.

Wrong cause

Melting Sea Ice

Melting Sea Ice

This link would mark confusion with the amplifying effect due to albedo. The white sea ice melts to reveal a darker surface underneath and the extra energy absorbed warms the Earth. This mechanism is called albedo and has nothing to do with the greenhouse effect. It belongs to the orange arrows on card 13, not to the red arrows.
