Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas that is the reason for global warming.
Another view:
Water vapor is far and away the major gas in terms of global warming's additional heating of the planet. Carbon Dioxide increases alone can not cause the full increase that is currently believed to be happening. Additional water vapor, the earth's primary greenhouse gas, has to be calculated into the equation to account for the increase.

Which gas traps heat and helps cause global warming?
All greenhouse gases trap heat. The one most responsible for global warming is Carbon Dioxide.
What is man's role in global warming?
Humans are responsible for serious deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Climate scientists agree that this is what is causing global warming and climate change.
What could increase average global temperatures?
Global warming. Possibly pollution such as gas in a car.
Which gas released from the burning of fossil fuels is the gas that contributes to global warming?
The gas released from the burning of fossil fuels that contributes to global warming is carbon dioxide (CO2).
Can turning off lights help prevent global warming?
Yes. Most electricity is still generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. If nobody in the world wasted electricity, we could stop building so many coal fired power stations (and slow global warming).
The gas predominantly responsible for global warming?
... Is carbon dioxide (CO2).
Which gas traps heat and helps cause global warming?
All greenhouse gases trap heat. The one most responsible for global warming is Carbon Dioxide.
What gas is responsible for the greenhouse effect during global warming?
The gas which we can do most to prevent, and the one that is causing the increase in temperatures, is carbon dioxide.
What is man's role in global warming?
Humans are responsible for serious deforestation as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). Climate scientists agree that this is what is causing global warming and climate change.
Why did global warming arise?
people affect our air. they use gas, electricity, and they just don't care
How bad is the US in global warming?
China has recently overtaken the US in annualcarbon dioxide emissions, but the US still has the highest historical levels. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas responsible for global warming and climate change.
Does increased industrialization cause global warming?
Yes, industry runs on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), or on electricity generated by the burning of them. Any burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO2), the greenhouse gas responsible for global warming.
Can offshore drilling help with global warming?
No, any production of gas and oil, whether offshore or onshore, increases the effects of global warming. Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases responsible.
Is greenhouse gas causing global warming today?
yes the factories and stuff like that are making the air horrible
Which greenhouse gas released by refrigerators and air cooling systems causes global warming?
Chlorofluorocarbons -Colton Goodgion
What is the primary gas in the atmosphere responsible for the greenhouse effect?
Water Vapor is the gas that is largely responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that has warmed the earth for millions of years.Carbon dioxide is the gas that is largely responsible for the present accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.
What could increase average global temperatures?
Global warming. Possibly pollution such as gas in a car.
