Greenhouse effect is a physical change caused by, in this case, by various gases. It traps heat in the atmosphere, resulting in a warming planet. What do you think the result of the GHE is? "The greenhouse effect is extremely doubtful" The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, first reliably experimented on by John Tyndall in the year 1858 and first reported quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in his 1896 paper.[6] en.wikipedia.org

>> The relationship between the two is that the greenhouse effect is one contributor to global warming. They are not two terms for the same thing. The distinction is important.<< Karen - Sure. But the most significant way in which humans contribute to global warming is in the production of greenhouse gases. I didn't see the article that led to this discussion, but it seems that if an author is talking about the human production of greenhouse gases, that's actually a more precise way of discussing the global warming issue. - Allen
