Total greenhouse gas emissions come from several sources. Some result from natural processes... But most global greenhouse gas emissions come from anthropogenic sources—meaning they result from human activity... since the Industrial Revolution, human activities have significantly increased the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere. As they remain for years or even centuries, they amplify the greenhouse effect and cause global temperatures to rise, making greenhouse gas emissions a leading cause of global climate change. 2, record 1, English, - greenhouse%20gas%20emissions

Depuis le début de la révolution industrielle, [...] l'effet de serre s'est amplifié par le rejet de quantités importantes de GES [gaz à effet de serre] dans l'atmosphère. L'utilisation massive de combustibles fossiles comme le pétrole, le charbon ou le gaz naturel, la déforestation, certains procédés industriels et pratiques agricoles ainsi que l'enfouissement des déchets ont notamment joué un rôle majeur dans l'augmentation des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9missions%20de%20gaz%20%C3%A0%20effet%20de%20serre

Long-lived climate forcers refer to a set of well-mixed greenhouse gases with long atmospheric lifetimes. This set of compounds includes carbon dioxide(CO2) and nitrous oxide(N2O), together with some fluorinated gases. They have a warming effect on climate. These compounds accumulate in the atmosphere at decadal to centennial time scales, and their effect on climate hence persists for decades to centuries after their emission. 2, record 5, English, - long%2Dlived%20climate%20forcer

Des composés oxygénés du carbone, nous retiendrons le dioxyde de carbone ou «gaz carbonique» [...] Le dioxyde de carbone CO2 est assez abondant dans la nature (atmosphère, poches de gaz souterraines, eaux minérales gazeuses), où il joue un rôle capital pour les êtres vivants, par le mécanisme de l'assimilation chlorophyllienne. C'est aussi un sous-produit de nombreuses industries (fermentation alcoolique des sucres, fabrication de la chaux vive, des ciments, synthèse de l'ammoniac, etc.). 8, record 21, French, - dioxyde%20de%20carbone

The absorption of escaping infrared rays by the glass of a greenhouse contributes only a very small percentage to the retention of heat within the structure. A greenhouse retains heat mostly because its warmer air cannot rise and escape. Greenhouses with polyethylene walls work as well as those with glass walls, and polyethylene absorbs much less infrared energy than glass. Although the analogy is poorly chosen, the term "greenhouse effect, "as used in atmospheric science, continues to designate an insulating effect, regardless of the mechanism. 3, record 22, English, - greenhouse%20effect

Greenhouse plastics effect tomato pollination by influencing bee activity and bee loss through the ventilation systems. There is a significant difference in bee loss among plastic types.... CT plastic, one of the less commonly used greenhouse plastics, experienced less bee loss than AT Duratherm, Patilux, and both AT Bee Poly and De Klerk together.... The likely explanation for these results is that under CT plastic, bees are less able to visually detect the open vents because of the relatively small contrast between the transmitted light and the light through the vents. Our spectrophotometry results... indicate that of the plastics tested, only CT plastic allows transmission of UV light. Because of this, fewer bees fly out of these greenhouses and die during the winter months. 1, record 30, English, - CT%20plastic

Greenhouse tomatoes and pollination by bumblebees. ... Bumble bee keeping in greenhouses has encountered some problems because of the escape of the bees ... through open vents in late winter and early spring. ... New understandings in insect colour vision (Backhaus 1993) have suggested ways by which the visual target of the open vents (daylight with UV) ... versus the greenhouse roof and walls (attenuated UV) can be disguised by coloured transparent flaps or blocked by screening so that the bees are not attracted and can not escape. The former would be easier and cheaper. UV light encourages the germination of spores of grey mould (Botrytis), so UV opaque plastics are favoured. 1, record 30, English, - CT%20plastic

Halogenated substances are chemicals that have been engineered for a variety of industrial uses. Some are potent greenhouse gases and, therefore, may have an effect on global climate. Emissions of halogenated substances can be classified into two groups according to the accuracy with which their global warming potential(GWP) can be determined.... The first group consists of chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons(HCFCs), and other chlorine-containing gases....

Serre. [...] En été, par beau temps, l'élévation de température due à l'effet de serre pourrait provoquer des accidents de végétation : pour les éviter, la technique la plus classique, mais pas toujours suffisamment efficace, consiste à aérer largement la serre; une autre technique beaucoup plus efficace consiste à aspirer grâce à des ventilateurs, l'air extérieur à travers de paillassons sur lesquels coule de l'eau. L'évaporation qui en résulte, d'autant plus active que l'air est plus sec, conduit à la fois à un abaissement de la température et à une humidification de l'air; ces deux phénomènes sont également favorables à la croissance des végétaux.

Greenhouse effect(...) The transparent glass or plastic walls and roof of the greenhouse transmit the shorter wavelength, visible light and infrared radiation from the sun but not the longer wavelengths. Thus, during the hours of daylight infrared radiation passes into the greenhouse and warms its atmosphere and the ground on which the house stands. The transparent walls and roof of the greenhouse partly reflect and partly absorb the longer wavelength radiation. Subsequently the walls and roofs re-emit the absorbed radiation into the house. Coating the glass with a non-heat-radiating film, which is transparent to sunlight, further maximizes the heating effect of radiation received. 2, record 38, English, - reinforced%20greenhouse%20effect
