The greenhouse effect, in my view, is the root of this problem. Water vapor,
carbon dioxide, and other gases in the atmosphere capture sunlight's heat,
enhancing the greenhouse effect and raising the Earth's temperature.

4. Why is growing crops becoming more difficult due to The Greenhouse


Effect?

Growing crops becoming more difficult due to The Greenhouse Effect


because the areas where plants and animals can live shift and water supplies
are diminished.

5. What is the consequence of The Greenhouse Effect on weather? Provide your


reasons based on the news report.

The Greenhouse Effect on weather has the effect of increasing extreme weather due
to higher temperatures. This means that big storms, floods, and heavy snowfall will
be more intense, as well as longer and more frequent droughts.
