The Environmental Protection Agency declared today that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are harmful to people and the environment. The administration will not ignore science or the law any longer, nor will we avoid the responsibility we owe to our children and our grandchildren, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said.
The Greenhouse Effect. Energy from the Sun that makes its way to Earth can have trouble finding its way back out to space. The greenhouse effect causes some of this energy to be waylaid in the atmosphere, absorbed and released by greenhouse gases. Without the greenhouse effect, Earthâs temperature would be below freezing. It is, in part, a natural process. However, Earthâs greenhouse effect is getting stronger as we add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Thatâs is warming the climate of our planet.
