Answer:

They cause climates to change around the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

The greenhouse effect is a process in which the thermal radiation emitted by the planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG) and is radiated in all directions. As part of this radiation is returned to the surface and the lower atmosphere, this results in an increase in average surface temperature compared to what would be in the absence of GHGs.
