It depends on the gas. Greenhouse gases will tend to warm the troposphere. Aerosols such as black carbon will tend to block out the sun and cool the atmosphere, though these are generally not gases. Adding ozone-depleting gases will destroy ozone in the stratosphere, allowing more UV radiation to reach the surface which is harmful to life.

How would mount st helens affect the atmosphere?
All depends on the size of the eruption. If it were a big eruption then it could bellow ash and smoke into the atmosphere and cause sunlight and heat to be blocked around the world making the earths temperature fall for a little while. Also it will send gasses like methane, carbon dioxide and sulpher into the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse gas level and maybe contributing to global warming.
What type of mountain is the only one that is formed by adding new material to the earths suface?
It is an active volcano.
How are we changing the balance of the gases in our atmosphere today?
We are adding more and more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is causing global warming and climate change.

Is the atmosphere fixable?
We can fix the atmosphere by stopping adding greenhouse gases to it. To do this we have to change to renewable energy and replant the great forests of the world.
