Additional field(s): Environment & Ecology
English term or phrase: greenhouse effect
Definition from physics.fortlewis.edu:
An increase in temperature caused when incoming solar radiation is passed but outgoing thermal radiation is blocked by the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide and water vapor are two of the major gases responsible for this effect.

Example sentence(s):
  • Without the greenhouse effect life on this planet would probably not exist as the average temperature of the Earth would be a chilly -18° Celsius, rather than the present 15° Celsius. PhysicalGeography.net
  • The earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of H20 and CO2 that naturally occur. The enhanced greenhouse effect refers to the augmentation of these natural gases by human activities. Greenhouse Effect
  • Atmospheric water vapour (H2O) also makes a large contribution to the natural greenhouse effect but it is thought that its presence is not directly affected by human activity. Hong Kong Observatory

učinak staklenika
Definition:
Učinak staklenika je proces u kojem naš planet ne uspijeva održati ravnotežu između energije prikupljene sa Sunca i topline izračene u svemir. Plinovi čija je koncentracija porasla zagađenjem atmosfere odbijaju dio topline natrag na Zemlju, što izaziva podizanje temperature atmosfere ne bi li se uspostavila nova ravnoteža.

efekt staklenika


Definition from own experience or research:
Zagrijavanje klime popularno se zove "efekt staklenika". To je proces u kojem naša planeta ne uspijeva održati ravnotežu između energije prikupljene sa Sunca i topline izračene u Svemir. Plinovi čija je koncentracija porasla zagađivanjem atmosfere vraćaju dio topline natrag na Zemlju, što izaziva porast temperature atmosfere ne bi li se uspostavila nova ravnoteža. Sličan proces odvija se u stakleniku, pa odatle i naziv.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Istraživanje čiji su rezultati objavljeni u časopisu Nature Geoscience potvrđuju kako je djelovanje metana iz oceana na razvoj efekta staklenika uvelike podcijenjen." - www.metro-portal.hr  

Explanation:
"Prije ili kasnije, kad se priroda (ili barem temperatura) godišnjih odmora promijeni, znat ćete kako je promjeni ime. Promjena se zove - učinak staklenika."

Sudeći prema ovom citatu, ispravan je i prijevod "učinak staklenika", no on se u govornom svakodnevnom jeziku rjeđe koristi.

Definition from Wikipedia:
Učinak staklenika je proces u kojem naš planet ne uspijeva održati ravnotežu između energije prikupljene sa Sunca i topline izračene u svemir. Plinovi čija je koncentracija porasla zagađenjem atmosfere odbijaju dio topline natrag na Zemlju, što izaziva podizanje temperature atmosfere ne bi li se uspostavila nova ravnoteža.

Example sentence(s):
  • Staklenički plinovi u atmosferi apsorbiraju dio sunčevog zračenja čime dolazi do zagrijavanja atmosfere, što se naziva "učinak staklenika". - Minstarstvo zaštite okoliša  
  • Učinak staklenika, koji bi postojao i bez ljudskog djelovanja, posljednjih desetljeća je pojačan, budući da je antropogena emisija stakleničkih plinova, a naročito CO2, CH4, i N2O, bitno porasla tijekom posljednjih dvjestotinjak godina. - Projekt Vrijeme i klima hrv Jadrana  
  • Efekt staklenika ima veliko značenje za život na Zemlji, te bi bez njega površina Zemlje bila 36 °C hladnija nego što je sada, što ukazuje na važnost atmosfere za izmjenu topline na Zemlji. - Hrvatskog geografsko društvo
