Green house gases pose an indirect threat to man. By themselves, most green house gases such as methane and carbon dioxide are not particularly harmful to humans. The real danger from them is the increase in global temperature they cause. Carbon dioxide is the most infamous of the green houses gases and the most widely produced (think automobiles), however, other gases, such as methane, are four times more effective at raising the global temperature. Still, carbon molecules spend the most time present in our atmosphere.
Some food for thought: The permafrost (these stay frozen year round, permanent frost) layers in the tundras around the world, consists mostly of methane gases. As stated above, methane is 4 times more effective at raising the global temperature than carbon dioxide. Once these permafrost layers begin to melt, they will continue to melt because the methane gas present in the atmosphere will continue to raise the temperature. This threatens to raise to global temperature as much as 25 C (don't mistake this for F, 25 degrees centigrade is massive). Deserts would become inhospitable, Snow covered tops would be lose the majority of their snow. Imagine your home town, except 25 degrees Centigrade warmer...How would it be?

What are the artificial green house gases?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are man-made gases that are also greenhouse gases.
Is global warming same as green house effect?
No, Green house effect is the phenomenon when the green house gas would trap solar radiation. Mostly it could trap (absorb) radiation on infrared region better than visible range and so it result to higher temperature of this planet. The Global warming is the theory that earth temperature is increasing due to man made emission of CO2 through process of Green house effect.
Noble gases usually exist as what?
Noble gases exist in the nature as gases; only a small number of (all man made) compounds of noble gases are known.
What are some hazards to the ozone layer?
The man-made gases of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). Chlorines and bromines from these gases stay in the atmosphere for years, destroying ozone molecules. This allows the sun's dangerous ultra violet (UV) radiation to reach earth, causing human cancers and damage to crops.
Are marlins dangerous to man?
yes.......yes they are;)
What are the artificial green house gases?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are man-made gases that are also greenhouse gases.
What is the difference between green house gases and enhanced green house gases?
the greenhouse effect is the natural cant be controlled process, but the enhanced is man-made stuff, like fossil fuel burning and it's way higher than it should be. love, friend =)
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 green house gases do not occur in nature?
These are some of the man-made greenhouse gases: * SF6 (Sulfur hexafluoride) * CFC-11 * CFC-12 * CFC=1113 * Carbon tetrachloride * HCFC-22
If a red man lives in a red house a blue man lives in a blue house and a green man lives in a green house who lives in the white house?
The President.
A man called Mr Green had everything in his house green What colour was his house?
it was made out of glass... green house.. get it.?
Why are houseflies dangerous to man?
House files are dangerous to man because they carry diseases. They can cause a variety of illnesses from landing on and contaminating food.
Is green house effect beneficial to man and environment?
Green house effect assist the earth to retain its temperatuere in equilibrium. In absence of green house effect , earth's temperature will be rapidly increase due to intensity of sunlight further in night or in lake of sunlight the temperature of earth surface will be rapidly go down. But much concentration of green house gases absorb more heat that results much temperature during day and also more temperature in night...
What gives off the worst smelling noxious gas known to man?
A creature which gives off the most noxious gases resulting in severe green house gases is named 'Emily Gilbert. Beware smell results in severe death. Keep 10 miles clearance
How are green house gases made?
Gases are made when you heat up solids or liquids. Liquids are made when you cool down gases or heat up solids. Solids are made when you cool down gases or solids. When you heat up solids they make liquids and when you heat up liquids it makes gases. When you heat up gases it makes plasma (plas-mu) but that is very very very very very very hard to make.
What is green house emisson?
Green House emissions are the creation and release of any gas that traps the sun's energy in our atmosphere. Nature produces most of these gases. Man produces one of interest. CO2 is created when man burns fuel. Humans make close to 6% of all CO2 produced and much of this (over half) from objects that would not produce CO2 if left alone. In total terms, man produces almost 0.3% of all greenhouse emissions.
Why is housefly dangerous to man?
The house fly is not dangerous to animals it does not bite but it does Carrie alot of bacteria and protozons that can cause many serious diseases.
