Yes. Greenhouse gases capture the sun's heat and warm the atmosphere. We are adding these gases by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere). This extra greenhouse gas is causing the extra warming that is global warming.

What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
How do greenhouse gasses impact the ozone layer?
Greenhouse gases cause global warming on earth. This global warming can cause ozone depletion.
What is the name that gives gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
Greenhouse gasses are the cause of Global Warming.
What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
What are the green gases?
They are not green gases, they are called greenhouse gases and they cause global warming.
What negative things can result from increasing the number of greenhouse gases in your atmosphere?
As Algore proposes the increasing greenhouse gases cause global warming. Global warming is the increasing of the atmospheres temperature.
Is global warming due to greenhouse gases?
Yes, this is the most important cause.
Do the gases in the atmosphere increase or decrease global warming?
The greenhouse gases are increasing global warming.
Do greenhouse gasses help global warming?
They don't help with global warming naturally but the large buildup of greenhouse gases does assist with global warming.
What is the collective name given to gases that cause global warming?
I am not 100% sure but i think it is called "Greenhouse gases"
What can be done to halt the effects of global warming?
Global warming can be halted by halting the greenhouse gases. These gases are the ones responsible for warming.
What is the difference between the ozone layer and greenhouse gases?
Ozone layer protects us from UV rays. Greenhouse gases cause global warming.
