Answer
Only Statement 1 is true.
Reason — The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth warm and habitable. Without it, the temperature of the earth's surface would be below the freezing point of water (–18°C). However, an excess of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide leads to global warming and climate change. Hence Statement 2 is false as the greenhouse effect is essential and should not be eliminated.
