The greenhouse effect is defined as when the Earth's atmosphere becomes thick with gases and substances which trap the sun's radiation, making the Earth warmer.

What is a greenhouse gas? a greenhouse gas according to the epa is any gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.Some of these are Carbon dioxide ,methane,Nitrous Oxide.

Most of these are man made through industrial process like coal production,and factories in general

How will climate change affect energy prices?

Climate change will affect energy pricing because climate change could increase the need for additional electric generating capacity by roughly 10-20% by 2050.Where do you think that money will come from?Thin air?No it will come out of everydays people's pockets like you and me.Even your children and grandchildren.Climate change could increase the need for electricity because during the summer people use electricity to stay nice and cool through fans and air conditioning.and if global warming makes the planet warmer people will try to stay cooler so they will use more electricity to stay cool.

How about winter?

If you didn't know global warming doesn't only make the planet warmer than its supposed to it also makes the planet colder than its supposed to be.global warming will reduce the cost of heating in the winter but increase the cost of cooling in the winter.

However:

A/c is less efficient than heating. So we need more energy

Most people already have heating. A/C usage is growing fast, and as it gets hotter that growth will accelerate.

So energy usage will increase

Actions have consequences and if we do not change our actions and inspire others to change too than we will pay with our money and health.I think this is fair.If we do not get consequences for our actions than sadly most people won't change

How will this affect the economy?

This will affect the economy because people will lose their jobs The World Employment and Social Outlook 2018 estimated that climate change threatens 1.2 billion jobs. The jobs most at risk are agriculture, fisheries, and forestry. Maine is already seeing a decline in its lobster catches. Natural disasters have already cost 23 million working life years since 2000. However , efforts to stop climate change would create 24 million new jobs by 2030.

What can i do at home to help at home to help minimize the effects of climate change?

1)Turn off lights in rooms you leave

2)Wash clothes in cold water

3)Use low-flow faucets and shower heads

4)Insulate
