Yes, natural gas is a greenhouse gas, methane, twenty times more powerful than carbon dioxide. These greenhouse gases reduce the amount of thermal energy escaping into space, effectively warming the atmosphere, causing global warming, which is then causing climate change.

Natural gases that are already in the atmosphere, like oxygen and nitrogen, do not cause climate change.

How does earth climate change every year?

The Earth climate changes every year due to increased human activity on it. The green house gases too are largely responsible for climate change every year.

What are some causes for climatic change?

Some causes for climate change would be mostly due to human activity. After cars and factories were made this has caused lots of pollution. many green house gases have been let out into our atmosphere. green house gases are gases that get trapped in earth's atmosphere that help maintain earth's temperature. Although if there are too much green house gases in our atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, earth's temperature will begin to rise. this process is called global warming.


Why is green energy important to the future of plants?

By increasing our dependence on green energy our dependence on fossil fuel will decrease and hence a balance of different gases in the air will be maintained. Thus plants will be saved from effects of climate change.


Why do scientists believe that the process in which carbon is released as carbon dioxide is causing your climate to change?

Because they have [experimentally] determined that carbon dioxide {CO2} is a significant green-house gas. Green-house gases let electromagnetic Solar radiation In yet then prevent any re-radiation of it back into Space.


Are green house gases increasing?

Yes, greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are increasing in the Earth's atmosphere primarily due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This increase in greenhouse gases is contributing to global warming and climate change.

was theron Cody bill Cody?

No but they were related. Buffalo Bill Cody was a cousin of Theron. Buffalo Bill was concerned about climate change due to the green house gases (methane) that the huge buffalo herds generated and did something about it. Theron was a scientist and a man-of-quality. He was also concerned about climate change but his contributions were not as dramatic.


Which Atmospheric components have led to Global Warming and climate change?

Collectively, and actually too numerous to List, they are known as Green-House Gases. Some have their very low Concentrations Offset By their Hyper-chemical-activity.


What do greenhouse gases in earth's atmosphere do?

Greenhouse gases trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, acting like a blanket to keep the planet warm. This process is known as the greenhouse effect. However, an increase in greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, is contributing to global warming and climate change.
