B.2.10—Enhanced greenhouse effect question 1
[Maximum number: 2]
This question is about energy sources.
A small island is situated in the Arctic. The islanders require an electricity supply but have no fossil fuels on the island. It is suggested that wind generators should be used in combination with power stations using either oil or nuclear fuel.
The emissions from the oil-fired power station in (c) are likely to increase global warming by the enhanced greenhouse effect.
State what is meant by the enhanced greenhouse effect.
