Переведите . greenhouse effect is the term for the role the atmosphere in warming the earth surface. the atmosphere is largely transparent to incoming short-wave solar radiation, which is absorbed by the earth's surface. much of this radiation is then remitted but it is reflected back by gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, halocarbons, and ozone in the atmosphere. this heating effect is at the root of the theories concerning global warming. the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been increasing by 0.4 per cent a year because of the use of fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and coal. the cutting of tropical forest has also been a contributing factor in the carbon cycle. other gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect, such as methane and chlorofluorocarbons, are increasing even faster. the net effect of these increases could be a worldwide rise in temperature, estimated at two to six degress. over the next one hundred years, warming of this magnitude would after climates throughout the world, affect crop production, and cause sea levels to rise significantly. if this happened, millions of people would be adversely affected by major flooding.
