Greenhouse effect & global warming The “greenhouse effect” & global warming are not the same thing. Global warming refers to a rise in the temperature.
Atmospheric gases allow sunshine to pass through but absorb heat that is radiated back from the surface of the earth. This acts as a blanket keeping heat.
