Answer

Yes, Greenhouse Gases affect the Earth's heat budget as can be understood by the following examples:

  1. Greenhouse Effect — Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), trap heat from the sun, preventing it from escaping back into space.
  2. Increased Temperatures — The presence of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere leads to an increase in average global temperatures, contributing to global warming.
  3. Climate Change — The buildup of greenhouse gases alters the balance of the Earth's heat budget, resulting in changes in climate patterns, including temperature shifts and extreme weather events.
  4. Human Activities — Human activities, like burning fossil fuels and deforestation, release large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, intensifying the greenhouse effect and impacting the Earth's heat budget.
