Distinguish between global climate change and the enhanced greenhouse effect

The most crucial difference between global climate change and the enhanced greenhouse effect is that the latter is a result of anthropogenic causes. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as a result of human activities, while on the other hand, global climate change is the change in the global pattern of climate precipitation, temperature, winds, and pressure systems. Further distinguishing characteristics between the two is that global climate change can relate to any aspect of climate whereas the enhanced greenhouse effect specifically impacts upon temperature. Last but not the least, the enhanced greenhouse effect is a major cause of global climate change.
