The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous {ic} oxide(N2O), and fluorinated gases are the most important greenhouse gas groups because of their strength of global warming potential.
Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas with the highest amount of emissions by volume.

∙ 12y ago- Most carbon oxides like carbon dioxide
- Hydrocarbons like methane
- Water Vapor is, by far, the most common (90%)
These gases are present in the atmosphere and the reflect the terrestrial radiation emitted by the Earth at night. They help in maintaining warm temperature and their absence can cause severe temperature drop resulting in unsuitable conditions for life to survive. But too much of it can cause global warming.

∙ 12y agoThe two most important greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane. These are not the most plentiful, but they are the ones causing global warming and they are the ones we can do something about regulating.
When we burn fossil fuels we release age-old carbon dioxide that has been out of circulation for millions of years. This increase in the greenhouse gases is too much for the carbon cycle to cope with and the extra gas causes extra warming. This extra warming is global warming.
A:Water vapor is far and away the most prevalent greenhouse gas and the most active in terms of total forcing (80%). Next in line comes Carbon dioxide which is a weak second in terms of total forcing (less than 5%)Wiki User

What do plants do to lessen the green house gases?
Plants absorb water and carbon dioxide. These two green house gases are the most common. Plants absorb only a small portion of the total green house gas. The oceans do the bulk of this work. Plants do store carbon and our a major carbon sink for the planet.
What type of gas do you burn in a boiler?
we actually burn the so called 'flue' gases these are actually waste gases from different operations most commonly used gases are carbonmono oxide,sulpher di-oxide,methane and some green house gases
Do raising live stock has an effect on greenhouse gases?
i think that it can, because cows produce the most methain and that does contribute to the greenhouse gases. but other things can make green house gases. like humans, dogs, cats, and machines. :)
What is the emission of green house gases by consuming electricity and fuel?
Man produces about 0.28% of all green house gas and this is due to these activities. Most electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels. When these fuels are burnt, either for electricity or transport they release carbon dioxide which adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What are the most important gases in the air?
The most important gases in air are oxygen, nitrogen, argon helium krypton
What gases are most important to life?
what are that ten most improtana gases in life on earth
Two most important gases for living organisms?
oxygen and carbon dioxide are the 2 most important gases for living things
Why is being a vegetarian important?
It depends on your point of view. Personally i believe vegetarians are important because: It saves animals lives, being a vegetarian saves more green house gases than a hybrid car and it promotes a healthy diet if done right.
What are three most important gases for life?
The three most important gases for life... I would say: oxygen, carbon dioxide and the last one, hydrogen

What are the most important variable gases?
Water vapor
How have some people in Japan had a negative effect on the country?
Japan is effected by how many people live there. its people are using to many gases which has let off to many Green House Gases. The Green House Gases have gone up into the Ozone layer and is slowly eating away at the layer which is letting in UV radiation. Japan and China are two of the bestest countries and are the most unclean and unsafe countries you could live in.Japan has alot of negative effect.
