How do gases contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Green house gases can cause great pollution to the atmoshprere and that leads to global warming and that can make life on earth extremely hard.
How much greenhouse gases does a television emit in a year?
The actual television sets emit no greenhouse gases at all. The connections you could make between a TV set and greenhouse gases would be the emissions during the manufacturing process, and the greenhouse gases emitted as the powerplant generates electricity to run the device. The amount depends on the size of the set and how long it is running. If your TV is powered by electricity from nuclear or renewable sources, then it causes no greenhouse gases at all.
Is it true that increasing levels of the greenhouse gases could make the earth cooler?
No, increasing levels of greenhouse gases trap more of the sun's heat in the atmosphere, so the earth is getting warmer. There may be parts that get cooler for a time, for example, the British Isles, if the warm Gulf Stream stops, but, in general, the earth will continue to get warmer.
Is the fallowing sentence true or false the greenhouse effect is a natural process?
The greenhouse gases present in the earths atmosphere are both naturally produced and man made. The natural greenhouse gases (methane, water vapour, carbon dioxide) make the Earth warmer than it would be without the Greenhouse effect (this allows it to be habitable). The addition of man made greenhouse gases (methane, carbon dioxide and a few others) increases the temperature past the natural levels. SO the greenhouse effect is both natural and a result of human activities. If you consider the opposite of a "natural effect" to be a "supernatural effect" resulting from gods, devils or ghosts -the greenhouse effect is natural with no supernatural contribution.
What make up greenhouse gases?
biomass
What reasons are various countries reluctant to make firm commitments to make deep reductions in greenhouse gases?
They believe reducing greenhouse gases will reduce the standard of living in their countries.Most of the emissions come from just a few rich nations.They believe reducing greenhouse gases will not make a difference on climate change.
Which greenhouse gases make Our Planet too Hot?
All of Them.
Are greenhouse gases helpful?
Greenhouse gases are helpful because they keep the earth warm enough for life. They are essential.Too much greenhouse gases are unhelpful because they make the earth too hot. Global warming is causing climate change which may make the world very uncomfortable for our children and grandchildren.
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. :)

Why is the Venus is hottest than the mercury?
Because there are greenhouse gases which make it extremely hot.
What do greenhouse gases do for the earth?
Warmnessssss for everyone! They make earth nice and warm! Yay!

How does crude oil make pollution?
We burn it to make energy, and that releases greenhouse gases which make holes in the ozone layer.
How do windmills slow global warming?
By using windmills to produce energy, it cuts down on energy produced via fossil fuels such as coal and oil which produce greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are the main causes of global warming. Basically, using windmills to make clean energy cuts down on the production of greenhouse gases.
What are green house gases or atmospheric gases?
Atmospheric gases trap heat so that Earth is not a frozen wasteland. Greenhouse gases is the term used to refer to heat-trapping gases such as carbon dioxide and methane because these gaseous components of the atmosphere make Earth function like a greenhouse-heat from the Sun that is reflected off the Earth is reflected back up to the atmosphere and the greenhouse gases trap some of this heat. Understand that greenhouse gases are necessary to retain some of the Sun's heat, but they are bad in excess; to much carbon dioxide( a greenhouse gas) contributes to global warming-too much heat from the Sun is trapped by the atmosphere so that temperatures on the surface rise.
Why does wasting plastic affect greenhouse gases?
If you waste plastic, like throwing a plastic drink bottle into landfill, instead of recycling it, you add a small amount to greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere.This is because it takes energy to make plastic, which is made from oil. It takes much less energy to take a used bottle, melt it and remould it into a new bottle. So recycling saves energy, most of which at the moment comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). And burning fossil fuels, as you know, releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
