Sampling trapped gas bubbles in ice cores gives both historical levels of greenhouse gasses and indirectly by various isotope ratios corresponding historical temperatures. By using statistical curve fitting techniques a function of temperature vs. greenhouse gas levels can be determined and thus the temperature for any level calculated.
An alternate technique is to use computer atmospheric modeling on supercomputers. These models are similar to weather models but usually with a courser mesh to do global temperature modeling instead of detailed local weather system modeling.
There will be uncertainty with either technique, but they agree quite well in general.
They calculate this temperature from Earth's reflectivity and distance from the Sun
Aside from the greenhouse effect, the only factors that affect a planet's average temperature are its reflectivity and distance from the Sun. Since both distance and reflectivity have been measured, the expected temperature can be calculated easily and precisely. (Note that this assumes that the Sun's total emission of energy remains steady; measurements and theory both indicate that it varies very little over time scales less than a few million years.)

The greenhouse effect
It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.
Due to the Greenhouse Effect, Earth's temperature is continually rising. If the trend does not change, the Earth's annual temperature will continue to rise, causing significant ecological problems.

Carbon dioxide acts as a greenhouse gas and retains heat radiation from the sun, which, combined with other greenhouse gases helps to maintain the earths surface temperature. Without the presence of CO2 in the atmosphere, most of the solar radiation would not be retained and thus the surface temperature would be very low and unable to sustain human life.
The atmosphere. The ozone layer absorbs UV radiation, and atmosphere also controls temperature through the greenhouse effect, which allows the earth's temperature to be suitable for life. If there was no greenhouse effect then the earths average temperature would be -14oC instead of the actual 15oC.

one pro is that it helps regulate earths temperature, but with fossil fuals which emites greenhouse gases it makes earth get hotter. and that's how you get global warming.
