By increasing the abundance of these gases in the atmosphere, humankind is increasing the overall warming of the Earth s surface and lower atmosphere, a process called global warming.. The figure below illustrates the radiation balance and the role of greenhouse effect. Illustration of the Earth s radiative balance.
The greenhouse effect increases the temperature of the Earth by trapping heat in our atmosphere. This keeps the temperature of the Earth higher than it would be if direct heating by the Sun was the only source of warming.reenhouse gases that are in the atmosphere absorb and then redirect some of this heat back towards the Earth.
