{"Image DocumentName": "Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Accounting", "Image ImageDescription": "Greenhouse effect. The blanket of gases covering the Earth traps some of this radiation while the rest is re-radiated towards space. This absorption of heat maintains the Earth s surface temperature at a level necessary to support life. This natural process is called the greenhouse effect. Without heat-trapping greenhouse gases, the surface of the Earth would have an average temperature of -18\u00b0C rather than our current average of 15\u00b0C. Unfortunately, human actions such as burning fossil fuels and land clearing are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting in an increase in the heat trapped. This is called the enhanced greenhouse effect. The major consequence of this is an increase in temperature on the Earth s surface resulting in climate changes.
