13 - Additional Greenhouse Effect

13 ° C - 18 ° C 15 ° C Efièch de sèrra Dardalhament infraroge Reflexion Isolacion Efièch de sèrra adicional
Set 1 www.climatefresk.org 13 L’efièch de sèrra es natural. D’alhors , lo primièr GES natural es la vapor d’aiga . Sens l’efièch de sèrra , la planeta seriá 33 ° C mai freja e la vida tala coma la coneissèm seriá pas possibla . Mas lo CO 2 e los autres GES deguts a l’òme aumentan aqueste efièch de sèrra natural que rescalfa lo climat .

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.
