A greenhouse gas is gas which has the capacity to trap heat and inturn releases heat to the environemnt.Considering a halocarbon,it does not have this property.Instead, it causes heating by depleting the ozone layer which relects the sun's rays.When a halocarbon depletes it,It can no longer control ,effectively,the amount of sun reaching the Earth.So, a halocarbon cannot be considered a greengouse gas.
I think all these gases which cause heating as a result of depleting the ozone layer, and the known greenhouse gases should be called Global warming gases-reason being they all cause warming.

How do you know whether a gas is greenhouse gas i.e how a greenhouse gas is different from non-greenhouse gas?
A greenhouse gas is a gas (with at least three atoms) that traps heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. It is important that some heat is trapped inside our atmosphere - otherwise the earth would freeze. But too much heat has a negative impact on the climate.
Is dihydrogen a greenhouse gas?
no, dihydrogen (H2) is not however dihydrogen monoxide is (H2O), Water vapor is the premiere greenhouse gas, it comprises over half of all the greenhouse gas found on our planet.
