The greenhouse effect is not caused by solar energy reaching the Earth. Instead, it is due to the rise in greenhouse gases like CO2, which is emitted during the full combustion of fossil fuels or biomass in industries and vehicles, trapping infrared radiation and leading to a rise in Earth's temperature.

1. This statement is false.
2. This statement is inaccurate.
3. This statement is true.
4. This statement is incorrect.

Correct answer: This statement is true.

Solution

The statement is correct because the greenhouse effect is driven by greenhouse gases absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation from Earth’s surface. Carbon dioxide from complete combustion of fossil fuels or biomass is a major contributor to this warming.
