There are many gases that cause "greenhouse effects".
Water Vapour
Carbon dioxide
Methane
Nitrous Oxide
Ozone
Chloroflourocarbons (CFC's)
are just a few.
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
Nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect because they are not greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor have properties that enable them to absorb and emit infrared radiation, trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen, although abundant in our atmosphere, do not have the same ability to trap heat in the same way.
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
The danger is, if the infrared is trapped by atmospheric gases it can cause greenhouse effect.
Forests absorb greenhouse gases. They are the ones that cause ozone depletion.

Carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas, though methane and other gases are also important.
the two major gases that cause greenhouse gases are methane and carbon dioxideco2, methene, evaporates
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
It doesn't! The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life by keeping warm gases in the atmosphere. It has no effect on the tilt of the earth.
The main gases that cause a greenhouse effect on planets are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water vapor (H2O). These gases trap heat in the atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation, leading to an increase in the planet's temperature.
