The '''greenhouse effect''' refers to the retention of heat at the [[Earth]]'s surface and in the [[atmosphere]] which results when gas molecules reduce the escape of [[infrared radiation]] into [[outer space]]. The greenhouse effect was discovered in 1824 by [[Joseph Fourier]].  The effect was disproven by German scientists in 2007 [http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2007/8/6/104929.shtml?s=lh].
