No actually water is quite the opposite of a grrenhouse gas.

Water acts like a giant sink that collects all the greenhouse gases in the air and buries it in the ocean.

This is not very good for the fish and other animals that live in the sea becouse the gases that the water collects can poison the animals. This happens the same way that humans can get sick becouse of the dirty air. Sea animals breathe the water through their gills and the greenhouse gases that are in the water poison the animals.

Greenhouse gases are gases that contain high amounts of carbon in them. Since hot water emits water vapor, which is the gaseous form of H20, it does not contain any carbon and therefore does not emit greenhouse gases.

Heaters that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) or wood produce greenhouse gases.

Heaters that run on electricity are responsible for greenhouse gases emitted when the electricity was generated, usually by burning fossil fuels.


If the electricity was generated from renewable sources (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, and hydrogen) then few greenhouse gases were emitted.

H2O is water.
H = Hydrogen
2= x2
O= Oxygen.

Therefor, 2 hydogens + 1 oxygen = water.

Yes, water is a greenhouse gas that is involved in the natural greenhouse effect. It is not causing global warming. Carbon dioxide and methane are the greenhouse gases causing global warming.

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.
