Significance of the Greenhouse Effect on Earth & Other Planets | GEO GIRL

How does the greenhouse effect actually work on Earth? How has it changed through Earth's history? Do other planets have a greenhouse effect? In this video, I cover how energy flows to and from Earth, the significance of the greenhouse effect for sustaining life on Earth, how the strength of Earth's greenhouse effect changed through time, the differences between Earth's greenhouse effect and that of nearby planets, and the current perturbation to Earth's greenhouse effect due to human greenhouse gas emissions as well as the potential progression of climate change as the C cycle attempts to balance itself back out. 0:00 Earth’s Energy Balance 2:59 Earth’s NOT in Energy Balance 3:49 Earth’s Greenhouse Effect 4:49 Greenhouse Effect = GOOD 5:58 Other Atmospheric Effects? 6:31 Actual Energy Flows on Earth 9:28 Greenhouse Effect on Other Planets 11:07 Earth’s Greenhouse Effect Over Time 12:55 Consequences of C Imbalance 16:05 Inducing C Cycle Balance References: Biogeochemistry: An Analysis of Global Change, 4th Ed. https://amzn.to/41CDHVz Richard Wolfson, 2007- Earth's Changing Climate:   / 2287989.earth_s_changing_climate   Richard Wolfson, 2011- Energy, environment, and climate: https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&...
