The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. Recent findings from the World Meteorological Organization predict a 50:50 chance at least one year between 2022 and 2026 will exceed 1.5°C
