The effect was particularly significant in winter when the sun was low throughout the day and most of the radiation passed through the greenhouse so that its ground radiant power was reduced.
The results show that some scientifically more acceptable ideas, such as the notion that an increase in the ‘greenhouse effect’ will cause changes in weather patterns, are already present in younger pupils.
The rise of temperature has been noticeable and this strengthens the arguments of the greenhouse effect.
This could conceivably be driven by the “greenhouse effect,” although no particular mechanism has been unambiguously identified by our analyses.
Of those ideas which constitute a causal link in the opposite direction, the most common view appears to be that the greenhouse effect causes more smoke and pollution to rise, or causes it ...
The natural greenhouse effect arises due to some of the trace gases, called the greenhouse gases, which are nearly transparent to solar radiation but strongly absorb the infra-red radiation emitted by the Earth.

This conclusion is reinforced by the possible intensification of the greenhouse effect which might result from man's activities over the next centuries.
The greenhouse effect is a reasonably complex scientific phenomenon which can be used as a model to examine students' conceptual understanding in science.
Thus, the Earth atmosphere does not really function as a greenhouse, and the terms ‘greenhouse effect’ and ‘greenhouse gases’ lost their original meaning and have remained symbolical.
At the same time, specific knowledge about the greenhouse effect is improving.

On such misconception is that greenhouse research is a recent phenomenon; another is that glasshouses are warmed by the same mechanism as lies at the heart of the greenhouse effect.
The study reveals familiarity with the term ‘greenhouse effect’, but little understanding of the concepts involved.
It makes a significant adverse contribution to the [`]greenhouse' phenomenon.
It is only in the context of a coupled totality of significant climate forming factors and processes that the contribution of the greenhouse effect may be estimated.
