∙ 12y agoWater vapor is far-and-away the most important greenhouse gas. See link.
A:The major gas that is increasing the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide.The carbon cycle and the water cycle move carbon dioxide and water vapor in and out of the atmosphere, keeping it in balance. This has happened since life began on earth. at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution we started burning coal and oil to drive industry and transport. This released additional carbon dioxide that has been hidden in the fossil fuels for millions of years. Releasing it now is proving too much for the carbon cycle to remove. As a result the greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere are steadily building up, increasing the greenhouse effect and causing global warming.

How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What in greenhouse gases are bad for the ozone?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases. They also destroy ozone.
What are the two most common greenhouse gases?
the two major gases that cause greenhouse gases are methane and carbon dioxideco2, methene, evaporates

What is the climate change that produces greenhouse gases?
Climate change does not produce greenhouse gasses. It is thought that greenhouse gasses are a major cause of climate change.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
The major greenhouse gases include methane CFCs water vapor and?
Carbon Dixide
The major greenhouse gases include methane CFCs water vapor and what?
Carbon Dioxide.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
What is the pollutant that is thought to cause the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas, though methane and other gases are also important.
What is a major disatvantage of using fossils fuels?
It Produces greenhouse gases and it pollutes the atmosphere when burned
What is the major drawback to the use of ethanol based energy?
