Does the greenhouse effect have anything to do with growing mold.?

Question

I was wondering if the greenhouse effect affects the growth of mold on fruit? I am performing an experiment and covered the fruit with a cardboard box. Does the greenhouse effect have anything to do with it? Professional answers only please.

Answer 1

NO!

Answer 2

sure does

mold loves the greenhouse effect

humid, intense warmth, perfect for mould

Answer 3

Well it depends if you are heating the inside of the box with something other than a cardboard box.

Greenhouse gases let heat in but not out, so yes if you conduct the experiment the right way mold should be more prone to growing in a warm environment than if it was out in the open.
