The natural greenhouse gases are the same as the ones causing global warming, water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, with one or two others. The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life, and has done for millions of years.
Natural greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), among others. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, which is essential for maintaining a livable climate. Without these natural greenhouse gases, the Earth would be colder, making it difficult for life to thrive. They help regulate the planet's temperature and create a suitable environment for living organisms.
China is the biggest annual producer of greenhouse gases, recently overtaking the US. The US remains historically the country that has put the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. China is catching up here.
Natural gases give us some energy
No, the allow life to live on this planet by keeping us warmer. Without greenhouse gases, we would be around -18 degrees and a dead planet.
Electricity generation from coal fired power plants produces the most greenhouse gas. The US & China consume about 2.5 billion tons of coal per year. Gas and diesel engines used in transportation come in a pretty close second.
The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
Ozone acts as a shield to the earth. It protects us from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
36%
Ozone layer protects us from UV rays. Greenhouse gases cause global warming.
Greenhouse gases, specifically:Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuelsMethane from cattleCFCs from refrigerantsare contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect that is making the world, as well as the US warmer.

China has recently become the biggest annualproducer of greenhouse gases. The US remains the leader in overall amounts produced.

The Short Answer is Yes. We see all around Us that the Long Answer is also Yes.
Ozone is a green house gas. But other greenhouse gases do not absorb UV rays.
